This is my third attempt to make marshland for my wargames table.
My mistakes have been many. The thought expended on this project - procrastination mainly - would total months of time.
I'm very happy with the paint job here - especially for the watery areas. I'm now really nervous that I'll stuff up the watery resin part and ... I think there may be swearing at that point.
I really wanted to use mounting card and not MDF as I don't like how raised it appears from the wargames table. I mean you always look down at a swamp or pond don't you?
Here was my practice run. So close! I added a little too much paint to the water mixture - I'm using a two part resin and hardener combo - the same I use for my very successful sea tables.
Here was another problem - putting some grass on first. It just sucked up a lot of the water mixture. I don't like this effect too much.
Nice and thin. The way I want it to be. Just a mounting card base, a outer rim of thinner cardboard and a stipple of polyfilla then dry brush.
Very nice. What colour did you add to the resin for the water?
ReplyDeleteVallejo Brown Violet. Just have to watch the quantities as I only use a small amount of resin for such marshes. Even a drop from the paint container is too much.
