Decided to do something about the crappy "back side" of my game table modules. So I got some of the "turf" shaker bottles from Maelstrom Games and made a surface that matched the dark horror/weirdness of most of my skirmish games.
Check out the complete process on my blog, added some comments on how I did it and in what order.
