Coast extension for my urban board (last-minute updates for Crisis 4.11.)

[Zafarelli]

Thanks, all (again)!

Superscenic, all minis are 28 mm. There are a few Copplestone Future Warriors, the rest are Pardulon

Greetings

that is one hell of an eye candy. I just plain love it *g*.
Now the only thing which makes me wonder a bit is the collapsed part of the sea wall. Mind you .. it looks stunning. But from little harbor experience I know the concrete is never only sand, water, plaster and cement ;-) Where is the barred armored steel in there ? Pieces of wire perhaps painted rust or so

Never mind.. as I wrote it is a stunning piece

As to "foam" - i've done soap suds before if that helps...

Are the glass beads semi-sperical or spherical?

I think I would prefer semi-sperical ones if I were to embark on a bubble-project, but the stuff you paint on, and the glue you seal it with, might 'fill out' the foam structure?

For plain white (thick) foam (or other colours, if desired) painted sand can also look quite nice, but you cant beat the beads for bubbles....

I think it reminds me of a normal Danish suburb.

Where do YOU live?

I'm looking forward to see this board extension 'in the flesh' at Horisont. Think I'll even try to get in a game on it.

These are regular round beads, couldn't get hold of semi-spherical ones. I simply applied the acrylic stuff and sprinkled on the beads as suggested by Brandlin. Gaps between beads do not really show, but to be sure, you can paint it over with PVA.

Looking forward to it

OK, good then... I was worrying that the round shape might be too apparent -  many semi-spherical ones  come with some kind of paperish backing, anyway - not the best condition to start from.

Think I have to go looking in 'Panduro Hobby' in Odense. Bubbles are nice.

I managed to squeeze in some last minute work on the harbour in the midst of preparing for Crisis. Mainly detail work, fenders made from old tires, a half-sunken boat, mooring posts and whatnot. Had a little help from a friend here, we spent an enjoyable evening adding more and more stuff. She came up with some great ideas, like guano sprinkled all over




Anyways, I'm off to Crisis tomorrow, hope to see some of you there!

[OSHIROmodels]

Won't be there myself but beautiful stuff anyway     

I just hope is doesn't get jammy fingerprints all over it (or any other damage )

cheers

Oooh you are clever Jens!!

Looking forward to seeing in the Fleisch.

[Hawkeye]

I never thought I'd hear myself say something like this, but the bird-droppings are a touch of genius! Fantastic looking board!

[Johan]

just saw it in the flesh and everything that has been written so far doens't come close to how fantastic it really is.

Good on you Jens.

[Zafarelli]

Thanks people!

The board was apparently rather well received at Crisis, since it received an award for the 2nd best demo game. The praise should probably go to Driscoles, though, he did the games, as I had to attend to my stand. Great show, btw., many thanks to the organizers. I'm looking very much forward to attend next year's Crisis as well.

Congrats, Zafarelli. I love the realistic detail of your board. If I can reach even half that level of realism with my stuff, I'll be happy!
