Terrain Board (Image Heavy)

[Ettrick]

Ah, but if you're layering a truly clear varnish, by putting in a bit of green or blue in (or between) the lower layers, you can create a very nice looking sense of depth.  Darker in the center of the course, lighter and greener along the banks and less colour in upper layers.

Yar! It has been a while. I'm using an uncoming meet as emphasis to finish the board (I always have worked better to deadlines).


Since the last report, I've finished layering the varnish (I think), pictures will follow very soon.

Today was spent painting and drilling trees (16 in total) I'm considering adding the foliage to them tonight while watching Game of Thrones.


In the group picture you can see all 20 trees (I'm wondering if this will be enough), and the two hovels buildings that I bought from Malamute. The hovels building are nice enough, but to be honest I think they look a bit bland when plonked down on the table, so in an attempt to make them more interesting I've added quite a bit of detail to their bases. I though I'd show them before undercoating and painting.

Hopefully more to follow soon.

Nice work o the cottages, I know what you mean about them looking bland, but your detailing has made them come alive.

Very much looking forward to hunting Wabbits

To be honest there isnt too much to do. Another 7 miniatures to paint, both buildings and thats about it (i hope!) managed to get most of the trees finished although i did run out of superglue- so i'll pick some more up.

Keep up the good work.

It's a westwind miniature, one of the villagers iirc. Got somemore on the painting table. All the miniatures that i'm using, bar two, are westwind. May well post some pictures later, you'll get to see them on wednesday anyway.

My Nose has been to the grindstone all weekend... I've been a good boy and been working on the board (Sad I know) on the plus side I got through the whole of A Game of Thrones 

Ok so terrain pretty much finished, well three more trees to add so love foliage to. The following pictures give a little flavour of the BLAM board set up. So without further ado, Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Glen Faol. Excuse the pink wallpaper, my sisters room had the best lighting conditions so I used that for the photos... honest gov! (The photos ain't brilliant, I appologise for that aswell)






The finished Woodcutter hut (ruined sadly)



Rules, check; terrain, check; now all I need to do is finish painting the miniatures.

Cheers
Andy
