Thank you.

Having got back late from my week away I have only had time to add a little groundwork to the boards. This consists of a few rocks in the river bed, some built in rocky slopes and the basic groundwork of the ford. However I also managed to add the plaster and additional groundwork to the other two Buttes so here is some pictures of the boards and the rough layout that scenario one will be played over.

So now I am waiting for the filler to dry so no more work for the next 48 hrs but I will be adding the remaining gravel and painting during the week so more piccies next weekend.

Since you asked so nicely

Here they are.

Still work in progress but I have given the boards a basecoat of Cinnamon Brown and the a dry brush of Burnt Sienna. This gives the boards a nice reddish hue similar to the base colours of Monument Valley.

Some close ups with a better idea of the base colours.

Then I applied a drybrush of Pure Pumpkin followed by a coat of Squash Blossom (both orange shades from Crafters) which gives it a look like this:

I am now going to give a couple of final dry brushes with a Bright Yellow and then Sandstone to tone down the yellow a little which will give me the finish I am looking for.

Hope you like it so far.

Very nice.

Are you going to spread some bushes or just as it is?

Vagabond · « **Reply #115 on:** February 17, 2018, 04:25:38 PM »

It's going to be good

Looking forward to seeing it all up together.

I was surprised how much growth - grass, and shrubs there is, in what we/I think of as desert or at least arid country. The other thing was how red the rocks and ground can be. Mind you I'm easily surprised.

You have got what appears to be quite large cat litter for want of a better term scattered across the board. When you place your bluffs, rock structures and wigwams on top of this are you expecting to blend them in and if so how. This was one of the things I have not resolved satisfactorily so I'm hoping you have.

Great work Gary! That’s going to be a corker!

The base colours look great! Eagerly waiting for the continuation!

Yes there is a lot of additional stuff going on the boards including scrub, sage, cactus (several varieties) and some general tufts. River also needs painting and adding to. Just finished the final (hopefully) drybrush but waiting until the morning to confirm it has taken as well as it should have. More piccies tomorrow.

The blending in bit is the tricky bit. I'll let you know once I have fugured it out.

Nice work, Gary.

It works really well as I feel pretty damn thirsty after looking at that.
