New terrain - more streams
Here are my latest two boards, designed to expand my Wagram terrain into a more generic set of terrain tiles. The streams have been given the same treatment on their banks as the existing boards, so I though I'd list the materials used.
First is the rough grass matting produced by Noch in their Gaugemaster range, this is also what I use on figure bases:

Very impressive Steve, wish I had the room...oh, well. I haven't seen your previous posts on the subject and wondered what are the terrain boards made from - MDF, ply? Love the finished effect though - beats a green cloth any day!
Best wishes,
Monty
Hi Monty
I wouldn't claim to having too much space myself. Terrain construction happens in my garage, doing 1 or 2 boards at a time.
The material is 15mm dense polystyrene from craftfoam.co.uk
cheers
Steve
Nice one.
Monty
Nice boards Steve , saw them at Salute and thought they complimented the figures very nicely. By the way is it just flock on the main boards or a textured paint with acrylic dry brushing? Forgot to ask you at the time.
Cheers

Hi Bob
Just a coating of PVA and fine sand, painted and dry-brushed.
cheers

Cool, cheers Steve . I will get some craftfoam and try a couple of boards.

With respect to your terrain boards do you glue the polystyrene to anything to provide additional strength? If not have you had edges chipped or damaged?
I don't glue the polystyrene to anything, but I do use reinforcing tape and electrical tape on the edges to give some protection. The sand/glue also helps!
