A quick update on the what is happening on the workbench. Over the past week I have concentrated on completing new terrain boards and upgrading my existing collection.
This is the final batch of existing terrain boards that I will upgrade for now. In due course I am aiming to improve the cliffs, rivers and road sections. For now though I need to get back to wargaming and painting figures.

With flock added and desert painted on the opposite side, these new terrain boards are complete. Tomorrow I intend to complete the final two large boards (18" x 18") which will see the new boards complete.

Several British tanks and vehicles now cleaned up and ready for priming. This is the first batch for the XXX Corps Breakout scenario.
Two more 1/1200 ships from the 70's. Here I will work on the Italian destroyer 'Luca Tarigo'.
And the German destroyer Z32.
Your terrain boards are fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, much appreciated.
DeleteWow, Jon. Those new/upgraded boards are nothing less than stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. I am pleased with the results so far. At some point I intend to work on the cliff sections, but that will probably be just repainting rather than anything too drastic.
DeleteJon, are the Purbeck Terrain tiles and your own replacements made from 25mm thick XPS foam? Do you simply paint and then flock with your two part Javis mix or do you have to seal them first.... also what did you use for the desert sides please?
ReplyDeleteThey are 40mm thick and are polystyrene, not as good as XPS. I struggled to find 40mm thick XPS but have acquired 20mm thickness and should I add anymore tiles intend to double them up as necessary. I used emulsion tester pots to paint the tiles before flocking. The flock is Javis JFT1 and JFT2 mixed. Desert side was covered in sand and then drybrushed using various shades of emulsion tester pots.
