yeah,
Looking good dude!
I'd recommend some Forests next.
Or some COD buildings, one or two looks like a outpost and breaks up LOS nicely.

Heh first post for me ^^

First of all: I loved the article, and it was probably the last straw that made me get this board myself. And man, it's fantastic. I'm getting a scenery pack soon but as i reread the article i noticed that you mention varnish. When and where do you apply it? Do you varnish the flock or just the plastic? and i think I read as well that someone used watered down PVA on the flock. Wouldn't that mess up the surface?

Just a couple of questions from a real terrain-newbie

Thanks!

yeah,
Glad you liked the article.

I dusted the tiles with varnish at the very end just to help it put up with a bit more with wear and tear.
But don't spray too much or too close.

Thansk, I'll think about that when I get my scenery pack.
I was afraid it would remove the "grassy" feel of the board if varnished, or as someone wrote, to brush watered down PVA on top of it.

General Mayhem wrote:Awesome board, well done! Some comments of my own: Use a kitchen seive to get the lumps out of the static grass as you scatter it. Use a thin wash of watery pva to fix the grass after scattering.

Do you paint the thinned PVA over the grass once it's on the board? Every time I use the board I'm losing not a small amount of grass.

Excellent article mate!

Just got a board and was scared! I wanted to do a different from standard board but wasn't sure what, then I saw your article! Standard is GOOD!
