Confessions of a terrain board virgin

Anyway back to the stippling....

 
Still at it then?

Either that or you have a home brew kit in the shed.....

Does that mean Star Wars games too? 

Yeah!!!

No home brew, but there is a fridge full of beer

Yeah!!!

Looking forward to this new film matey, just hope there's no stupid geeky looking aliens with an annoying voice in it.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that you'll love it 

I might be biased though 

Honstly though, it is very good and has a different feel to normal Star Wars films.

Anyway, back to the subject in hand, you can also use washing up sponges to help with the stippling but make sure they are either used or bought for purpose 

cheers

I just pre ordered Rogue One (don't tell Jimbibbly or Damas). I've heard it's a war film in a Sci Fi setting so that's my excuse

Hello?  Did I hear someone call?  The siren's song is strong with this one! 

Keep up with the stippling and you'll have a board to represent Jeddah in no time.

So you meant tippling not stippling 

[gamer Mac]

Good start Jeff
I would have maybe put some more texture into the board before the gloop

Nearly 24 hours and it still isn't dry

I've been stippling like a maniac, but I'm just going to leave it now to allow it to fully dry. If I need to I may add more sand before painting but we'll see.

Any comments/mickeytaking most welcome

I was going to say: "Prepare for a shitstorm of opinions!" Too late, it has already descended.

Depending on the thickness, 24-48 hrs is normal to completely dry out. A semi-warm room and some dehumidifier can work wonders, just don't just an hair dryer or similar, as that just calls warpage.

Don't mind that mate all advice welcome

It's pretty cold up my shed right now, and I've got grandkids running around the house at the moment. I think I'll bring it in tonight and let it have a good twelve hours in the kitchen where we have a permenant dehumidifier

These things take ages to dry. Where was it drying before? Bringing it inside at this time of year will help.
Looking better with the stippling

[OSHIROmodels]

That looks the job 

Any mickeytaking most welcome

Are you sure...?

 

cheers

James

[Mason]

That is coming along very nicely, Jeff.
It takes a lot longer to dry out when you keep spilling beer on it, though, mate.....
 

Any comments/mickeytaking most welcome

'Tis compulsory, dear boy.
You know that!

Good start on losing your board virgnity.    The first time round is a bit hit and miss.  I guess it's a bit late to suggest trying it on a small piece first to get the hang of it.
