Hill and beginning of forest table

So I did an experiment recently to see if I could make realistic looking hills with rocks using Woodland Scenics Rock Moulds. Now I had 1 of these lying around and some hydrocal because my Dad was going to use it for a model railway and after a bit of trial and error (hint: follow the directions exactly) I was able to make some cool plaster rocks and then using a piece of 2inch thick pink foam produce a pretty cool looking hill.




Sorry I don't have any WIP shots but this one turned out so well that I'm going to be doing a whole tables worth! So stay tuned for WIP shots of my upcoming 4X6 forest board.

Finished Infinity Board (Winter Ariadna/Haqqislam Medical Research Theme)

Here are pics from the finished board. Very happy with how everything turned out. Like I've mentioned before the water affects pissed me off and need more work once it cools down in the fall but of now, they're good enough. All the stuff from Sarrisa Precision turned out sick. Very easy to do. Light gray spray paint, dark gray spray paint, white spray paint/stencil, stippling of silver on edges and rails, and a wash of water/badab black/devlan mud mix. I'm hoping my group starts playing again so we can use the board. I'm going to demo a game for a buddy next week and am going to look into demoing at a few local stores once things calm down at work. Im now working on some scratch built buildings, I'm going to try and see if I can make enough terrain to cover a 4X4 cheaply/easily. Stay tuned for that. Also hoping to pick up some cool terrain at SoCalSmackdown next month.
