The Island (South of Arnhem)

Ive been asked about Teddy Bear Fur and how i produce it as a layout,this is probably the best `pictorial` showing how back then i pioneered my way through to the end result.Ive made a few layouts since then but this was the ground breaker for me, questions allways welcome,hope you pick up a few techniques from this.
Cheers Alan

There is a larger `sister board to this (Nijmegen) and the river (with bridges) connecting boards between the two,also the actual game shots from the Arhem weekend when we fought over this lot .









































































And finally the finished board:

Incredible work! I'd love a game on that!!

[Centaur_Seducer]

Amazing!

And it's just fur for most of the part? Did you cut it at all?

[inkydave]

Magnificent!!! 

The 'plug in' sea foam trees are a fantastic touch. 

Great man cave too.

Amazing work. What did you use to paint the fur?

[alcal]

When painting Fur only use water based paint,at first i would airbrush Tamiya onto it but its a bit expensive to keep that up,eventually i ended up watering down matt emulsion from the pic ur own range at mose DIY stores.

The fur i used is about 25mm deep and yes it needs shearing (hair clippers).
