Winner Dave here, continuing my recent kick into sorting out my terrain situation.
Last time, I showed you the standard issue fields (crop and ploughed) along with the bocage/hedgerows I made.
You could also see the embyronic stage of my roads.
Here's the finished article.
I used vinyl cork tiles that you can get in hardware stores...like this
It's easy to cut, pliable and durable.
Once I'd cut lengths of it, I coated it in super thinned black poster paint and left it to dry overnight. The result it an effect you wouldn't be ashamed to slap on the table, but I wanted more.
Next I roughly airbrushed dark grey all over. Then I did the twin lines of medium grey and finely another set of lines inside them of light grey.
After that I airbrushed dark brown along the edges.
I put the airbrush down and turned to the paintbrush. It was out with one of my favourite colours VMC Green Brown. I drybrushed the edges and down the middle.
Finally copious amounts of PVA and flock along the edges.
I'm so happy with the result, I think this is the best terrain I've made to date.
Onwards and upwards!
Dave
WOW! That looks really cool. Great work.
ReplyDeleteSimilar to mine but I still need to weather the track marks and add grass\flock to the shoulders. Yours will be my inspiration. http://gregswargamingblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Road
