Captain Blood your work is AMAZING! But I have one huge question. How do you store your boards? I cannot imagine that you discard them so you have to have a means of storing them. I have always hesitated to make said boards because of the amount of room they would take up. I am contemplating making a small 3x4 board to use for my skirmish games. So how do you do it and maybe share a picture or two if its something more creative then leaning them up against the wall. Thanks
Keith - my patent gloop is pva / sand / emulsion paint mix liberally applied over the top of the plaster and styrofoam superstructure, used on styrofoam boards. See my terrain board projects here:http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=12619.15And here:http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=20284.0You can thicken this mixture and make it as rough or smooth as you like by adding more sand / coarser sand / different grades of grit.Including a generously liberal amount of PVA in with the sand / paint mix, means the finished surface sets hard and plasticised - but retains a little flexibility too.I use exactly the same concoction for basing all my figures too.I really wouldn't buy GW 'basing sand' or any other ludicrous little pots from Gale Force 9, Army Painter or anyone else... As I'm sure you know, you can buy a bloody great sack of builders' sand from B&Q for a quid. Or from your local builders merchant for a couple of quid. One sack will last you a wargaming and modelling lifetime. (You can always sieve it to get the grade you require... )Selling an eggcupful of 'Acme model brand' sand in a plastic tub for £4.99, has to be one of the biggest scams in the history of man
