A City worth fighting for?

Sometime in late 2020 or early 2021 wargaming mats were on my mind. At some point I came around to these two videos:

A great video from Mel, and there are associated experiment videos delving into materials, layers etc.

An amazing looking board from Knarb. But to be honest, I can not be arsed doing all that with the flock.

In any case, I did a trial version. It has been seen previously in this project:

Following Mels’ guidance, it was crafted from a plastic-backed canvas paint drop sheet. Cut to about a 4′ square.

A single layer of caulk, mixed with sand and some paint went down. It took about three tubes of caulk to cover the whole surface. It sat like this for a fair while, but I’d always intended to put a second layer down.

hahaha.
Anyway. I thought I’d put the second layer on now. Over this time I’ve rolled it, unrolled it, stored it. Used it as a tablecloth (for game nights…). No cracks, or other dramas. It unrolls well, with a little counter-rolling it lays flat.

I put a second layer of caulk over. It also included sand and paint. Looking at it afterwards, I didn’t need the sand in the first layer. But so far it hasn’t caused any issues other than being heavier. I went with a grey colour on this layer, having “ruined city” in mind.

An excellent experiment. At the end of this I really decided that another was in order. There were a few other ideas that I wanted to try out as well.
