Title: Rollawya Desert Matt
Post by: Hammers on April 07, 2024, 04:21:47 PM

A piece of terrain I just completed to use for photography.

I find these small squares useful, rather than hauling big 60 by 60 cm terrain pieces onto m limited hobby table.


The base is made with acrylic spackling paste, colored with acrylic art paint, textured with various grit sized sand, smeard on top of a piece of burnt umber felt. The acrylig spackle, as well as the paint is flexible, which means it can be rolled away without cracking.  Dry brushing and a few tufts completes this piece of arid land.

Pices of slate, glued in stacks and painted to match the matt adds a little variety when placed on the matt.

The whole things rolls away nicely into ac card board tube.

That turned out very good; I am looking to do something like that for wooded areas, plowed fields and rough ground.

Great looking mat. I have a few small mats I've done for test pieces at times - they are great to take photos on.

Nicely done and a very neat approach.
