I'm a long time lurker, like hell of a long time...
I got into lotr many moons ago, back when Mines of Moria came out. I was just a kid then, and so didn't really have the money to get into the hobby. Now that I'm a bit more of a functional adult, things are different.

I'm starting the topic to motivate myself to do a little bit more, a little more frequently :)

I'm going to start off my workshop with a gaming mat I made from faux fur.

Few more photos, available in this album.

I hope to post a lot :)

Interesting idea - Might be slightly harder to move models than a flat mat, but it looks great!

Welcome!

This is an idea I've been toying with for Rangers of Shadow Deep, so it's nice to see one in action.

I've seen that type of gaming board used more and more in the blogosphere.

I'm with Mapper on this. I've seen people use these too good effect. What I like about yours is that you've done a nice job highlighting the fur in a natural way. Its subtle and looks very realistic. Keep the photos coming, zkajo!

Long time no see! First of all, apologies for bad photo quality, but can't do better at the moment. I decided to build some Mordor boats, inspired by SBG magazine from years ago. The "bridge" is movable :)

You can fit about 12-14 infantry models here.
Now I'm working on some smaller ones, where you can only fit three guys :)

Great use of the faux fur, I really like the boats too.

All of this terrain looks great! My favorite is the wagon/cart which could be used for a number of different factions if you wanted. Thanks for sharing Zkajo!

You can never have too many hills :) They make any board look great and these hills look excellent!
