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

I might be biased though  lol

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  lol

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 :D

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.  :D

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 :o

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 :)

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

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

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.   :D :D
