Title: rocky knoll
Post by: Belisarius on September 07, 2012, 12:40:04 PM

I thought my table might benifit from a rocky outcrop. Card base, black foamboard,  eight stones and sisal string for the vegetation.

Looks interesting.  :)

I really like to see the process that other gamers adopt in their build. It normally serves to inspire; and I hope this thread will be the same.


Cheers

Thanks chaps, emulsion paint and sand applied taking care to keep it away from the string/grass as I,ve found it can gum it up. Have to leave it now to dry overnight before throwing a splash of paint at it.

Paint splashed as promised, with a couple of figures for scale.

I can't for the love of Gid get over the fact that you mount it on corrugated cardboard and don't bother to hide it!

It surely looks the business,  :-*

 but hey, that edge of the base... man!

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Is this any better ? P.S. This is supposed to be fun - no sorry, constructive critism should always be welcomed and I thank you all for taking the trouble to comment it was an over sight on my part as I had run out of mounting board.

That's much better!

It's amazing that the wee bit of extra work really finishes off the entire model!

Looking really good.
