New Terrain for Frostgrave
« on: January 09, 2021, 04:01:58 AM »
First up:

I made this last year for Rangers of Shadow Deep. It's double sided with grass/flock on the other side. Considering I've decided to continue playing Solo Frostgrave I thought I might upgrade the non-grass side. It originally had vinyl floor tiles that had a faux-stone finish and texture. It worked for what I wanted at the time but it needed a little bit of an upgrade.

The tiles had a self adhesive back but it wasn't holding well on the insulation foam core. So I pulled it of and glued it back on. I then gave the whole thing a couple of thick coates of grey coloured silicone caulk. After the caulk cured I used a sponge to apply some off white emulsion paint and then did a light dry brush.

It came out okay and it's very sturdy and the combination of sponge & dry brushing has given it an interesting texture. The insulation foam is 3' x 3' x 50mm. The edging is just gaffer tape (duct tape). All up it took about 1 hour (if you don't count the 1 day for waiting for the caulk to cure).



Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
