Very nice start! It will look great when finished. So how many terrain boards you will have in the end? Judging by the sketch in the first post there needs to be quite a many in the end?

I think we are looking for 12ft in total, most of the rest is mats and GW battle boards.

It will all be for a big, sorry, massive and immense charity game, for a little girl who is very poorly.

For more details on the game, here is my mates blog. It is likely to be very epic!

Blimey O'Reilly.  :o

I am currently doing the labour intensive "bog roll" texturing which I use on all my projects these days. For anyone who doesnt know it is basically applying papermaiche toilet paper to the exposed areas... What it does is give a hard, easily paintable surface especially over white polystyrene. It also helps fill gaps, is light weight and very cheap. The solution I use nowadays is 50/50 pva to water.

Like ye olde Neil Buchanan technique. :D

There is an issue though! The island I originally painted is a very different colour, does it need a repaint, opinions please!

Aye... all very well painted, but it does look a wee bit incongruous. :P

Very good cause too. Retwitterated.

Thanks for that, if you are on the twitter and would like to keep up with what is likely to be an ultra-marathon of a game follow this guy. It is a good hobby feed all round to be honest, and no it isn't mine!
