Bayou's Finest - Board and Scenery


Ress is More

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I've been mostly painting and to some extend playing gremlins the last couple of months. Currently I'm working on a bayou board and Scenery to go with it. I'd like to show my progress in this thread and hope to get some extra motivation to finish this plan. It is quite a lot of work but so far very has been rewarding.

For the board the plan is to make it completely flat and in this way be able to create a different table every time you play it with the individual scenery pieces.

Some scenery I have made so far:

Moonshine Still (before and after)

A bayou tree:

Some hazardous terrain:

The board I made out of 2 pieces of 3"x1.5" MDF boards with a frame around it. It is now primered I will show some pics soon. Some ideas for more scenery I have are a watertower, some bayou cabins and maybe an exploded moonshine still. I will make some forest pieces in the same way I made the tree.

Hope you'll like it and I will be updating soon (I hope)

Yeah, I'm very new to actual terrain building. What material is used for the woven wicker-looking stuff?

It looks like standard plastic coated garden wire wrapped around dowels stuck in a base. Not sure what thickness of wire. I'd suggest walking into a garden centre/hardware store, and looking at the coated wires, and finding one that you can bend easily whilst still looking reasonably thick.

That's absolutely correct. After the first photo I gave it a very light brush with some plaster to give the wire a less smooth appearance, next time I might do this a bit more.

Some WIP for now:

It's actually almost finished, just need to create the swamp base. Needto make some more tufts for that, i'll post a pic as soon as it's finished.
