I was reviewing BGIME issues I have last night, and I think I'll start with some terrain modeling using the workshop sections they posted. I am still a beginner in modeling and painting so I came up with a plan to work my way through the workshop sections from easiest to more difficult ones. The categorization is how I see its difficulty for me, so it could be relatively different for anybody else. I thought I share it here may be someone finds it useful as well.

let me know what you think and C&C will be much appreciated and will help me fine tune my plan. Thanks!

A NOTE: the numbers are the BGIME issue numbers. and aside from black fonts, similar color workshops means they are somehow related and I'm thinking of working them as one project.
