Modular Scenery Storage Rack

Hello There. After making all this terrain I was beginning to find that I was rapidly running out of space to work. I had some space in the cabin to put up a rack system so that the standard size tiles could be slid away safely until use.


Here is the terrain so far. There will be scenery suitable for the desert and North West Europe, (which shall also double for the American Civil War and Napoleonics).

The far right hand side has terrain which is awaiting it covering of flock while most of the middle column is desert.

The far left is the small 300mm x 600mm tiles with some 300mm x 300mm doubled up one tile behind the other.

I painted the rack 'Victory Green' from the Frenchic range, in keeping with some of the other book shelves in the cabin.


While most of the shelves, (each shelf has two runners of 19mm x 19mm planed timber to hold the edges of each terrain piece), and are equally spaced, the railway embankment on the top of the narrower column has required the shelves to be spaced further apart.

Also the first part of the desert wadi was heavy at either side of the tile but had no support in its centre, so had to have an extra bar across the front of the rack to support it. 

This impromptu project was swiftly completed and has allowed me to continue to build scenery os a large cleared table.
