And my giantess is completed! Originally I planned on putting tattoos all over her face o make a giant goth, but after painting the flesh tones and having her look like a California girl, I changed my mind about the tats.
So this miniature will appear in my next D&D scenario. She’s a recently divorced giant who hires the PCs to deal with multiple annoying suitors and her ex husband.

I've been painting up a bunch more Dwarven Forge terrain from the "Lowtown" KS and this is my first build using the modular dungeon tile-style of terrain tiles that were sort of a side project in the KS. They worked great for this kind of build!
Plus, I also got to use some of my "sitting folks" miniatures that I got from Tiny Furniture before they had to close up shop in Russia and move to Portugal.

It looks great! Every time I think about anything terrain related I start to wonder where I'm going to store it and how often I'm going to use it. I don't know why frequency of use should be important, it's not like I don't have a ton of minis that just sit around looking pretty.

I’ve found terrain to be a better pull to get it to the table than minis themselves. Transport as important as storage.

Terrain is expensive and storage is a pain in the butt. There's no two ways about it. On the other hand, it lets you show off your miniatures, and is a hobby unto itself. So I love it, but I recognoze that it is a niche within a niche hobby. I appreciate that there are places like this thread where I can share it!

Technically, building dioramas was a hobby of mine even before I got into painting minis as a teenager. (I was one of those kids who built elaborate set-ups for their Matchbox cars anytime there was a dirt pile available...)
If I had the room and the time, I'd probably be like one of those model railroad guys, with a castle and town taking up my entire living room.
Just painting a regular guy on a 25 or 30mm base, I have to fight a compulsion to do something to indicate a scene, even if it might draw attention away from the figure - and I never pass up a chance to do some kind of actual scenic base if I can.

Me too! My spouse is probably thankful that at least I use stuff that can be put away and stored in boxes.
The only thing that stops me from going to town on the bases is that I use terrain, so I generally prefer the bases to be as neutral as possible.

Been a while since I heard tiny furniture mentioned and I had to do a double take as I still have them saved in eBay account when they sold resin cast terrain and such. Glad to see they are still around and making the stl files and have 158 paid patreon members too!
