On hiatus

Haven't been playing Battletech in a few years. Also haven't been doing any minis/terrian project of late either. Been to busy with other things.

Cliff Face


Here's a cliff face I created with a huge piece of styrofoam(8"x"18"x40") and plaster.

I cut the rags/papertowels into 2" wide strips. Mixed up a batch of plaster and dipped these strips, making sure they were fully soaked. Applying the strips was in a top to bottom direction, giving the stone a look of up and down.

After letting the plaster dry for 24 hours I made a black wash and applied it.

I dried bushed the rest to give it a better look. Still need to flock it.

Operation Battleboard - Phase Four

Tools/Materials

• Exacto knife
• Pink foam - 3/4"
  
• Paint - Green, Black, Dk Brown, and lt gray
• Flock
• Turf
• Glue - White, non-mixed and mixed 50/50 with water.
  

I planned on creating a river with some small islands intermixed in it.

I cut up the pink foam in small island shapes. The first couple weren't very detailed as they were originally planned for small hills.
The next couple I spent carving in some rocks. This wasn't too much of a chore and didn't need too much artistic ability. Well maybe a bit.

Once the piece were cut to my liking, I paint all of them with a black base. The next step was to paint the parts I wanted to flock with green paint.

I dry brushed the black with the lt. gray paint to give the rock some highlights. The dk. brown I used on some of the place were I wasn't going to flock, but wasn't stone/rock either.



After completing the painting, I used a brush to paint the glue mixture on. I tried not to let the glue spill too much, only were I wanted flock. I sprinkled some flock on the glue completing that task. For added effect I glue some coarse turf in a complete of places and viola!

Now place them on the board to fill in the river.
