It is an absolutely fantastic work !

I especially like the river and the rocks and cliffs...they look just like in reality.

Thanks for showing it to us.

Thanks  :)

There will be a short delay in posting pics of the finished landscape as my Realistic Water ran out and I'm waiting for fresh supplies to arrive in the mail  ;)

Everything else is now pretty much done however. Phew.

Oooookeeeee.... Finito!

It took 5 applications of Realistic Water to get close to the finish I wanted.
What can I say? It's not perfect, but having considered several other options, I decided to stick to the devil I knew. At least it just pours on straight from the bottle with no mixing, it doesn't emit noxious vapours, and it's water-soluble.
Overall, I'm 90% satisfied with the outcome.

Apart from the water, I've now inserted a load of trees, and added the buildings from Grand Manner. They're very nice buildings, but the bases are distinctly on the chunky side which is a bit annoying.
I've sanded them down in places added some shrubbery, but they're hard to disguise, so I shall just have to ignore them...
On the whole, I've decided I prefer buildings without sodding great bases moulded onto them  >:(

As this board will first see action in anger at the British Lead Adventurer's Meeting in 3 weeks time, I think it only fair to keep the figures off it until a game is actually played.
No doubt pics will be taken...  :)

But I did pop a few Woodland Indians on for one final shot - just to show how the figures scale in with the landscape...  ;)

Each to his own. Me, I'd rather have his terrain and painted figures.  ;)
