How to fix a resin issue
Last time you saw I had a super fast curing resin issue that was ruined by my blowtorch and titivating.
The way you go about fixing it is to add more resin. as Warren would say, ‘more is more’.
I ran down the local shop and picked up some more stuff to make it look busier in an attempt to detract the eye and I also used 3 paints to try and make some fish in the style seen on the test of honour maps from tinywargames.
I used 3 colours to help paint the fish
- boltgun metal to draw the main shape of the fish and 2 flippers
- nurgling green to add the colour down the centre (top side of fish)
- stormhost silver to highlight and feather the edges of the green
this kinda makes something that looks similar to a type of salmon or trout. not a perfect replication but it kinda looks like a fish.
Winter Table Upgrade
I have decided to keep the table as an autumnal table. Every time I want to play with it as a snow table I will simply sprinkle soft snow flakes over it. that way I can keep the flexibility up.
for Fir's sake
The static grass used was woodland scenics 12mm dark green and 2mm dark green. it looks super light though! would hate to see how light the light green that woodland scenics has!
Homeward Stretch!
I had to decide whether to bother adding more leaf litter to the removable trees to have them fit into the woodland tiles.
The left image has no added leaf litter, the right had it roughly thrown on.
I chose I should as I think it looks better.
Going Green
I decided to add a green layer even though it will get snowed on. the green will still be there regardless of the white that goes on top and will likely show through in places.
I did a tester first (I test everything for this board it seems) of the 2 parts foam flock from woodland scenics and the 2 parts colour set sawdust flock flock from Javis. Then add a sprinkle of mixed herbs and birch seeds for the leaf litter.
I have also been playing with my new toy… a static grass applicator!
