Rikk Posted November 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Seriously running out of time for this, esp as need water effect resin setting time of 2-3 days and board needs transporting in 6 days time... I still have to; 1. sand down the side and paint black 2. Sand down lumps on board (I had smooth pollyfilla to join cork boards but felt I need to add more to create texture- but now I wish I hadn’t and will need to sand if down before more coats of paint) 3. 2 more coats of paint on the board 4. Severe highlights on board as it’s just too dark as is 5. planks on board and for river/pond crossing to be built, painted, stuck on board 6. Foliage and tufts to be added 7. Final highlights 8. Water effects 9. Review - potentially to add some grass to the board if overall it’s still too dark I really do need to get to step 4 today and working on the planks this evening to then by end of tomorrow to be onto step 8 with first layer of resin going down. If that goes to plan, I should be finished late Wednesday/Thursday and ready to load in car on Friday.

Rikk Posted November 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Not quite on track but not far off, steps 1-4 below and I’m working on step 5 now Ill get the boards done tonight and tomorrow evening I’ll get them onto the board with some tufts and shrubs. Will probably also put a thin layer in the pond and river of water effects just to get it started 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikk Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 With 18 hours to go before I need to pack it in the car to take to UK Nationals.... I still need to get all the black painted on the edge of the board and the river is still wet resin..... and I haven’t finished all the planks for the bridges yet... Overall I’m happy but feel it’s missing something 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 4 minutes ago, Rikk said: Overall I’m happy but feel it’s missing something I'm thinking more colour variation for the ground. Either greens or tans. Maybe? That's a whole lot of pretty dark 'n dull brown right now. I'm not much of a terrain person so I'm just in awe of what you've achieved so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
