I have added some more Woodland Scenics foilage to my grassy scenery board, it is now good to go…

As you can see from this crop it is now more verdant than before.

The Woodland Scenics used is very clumpy and quite difficult to work with and stick down so some is now loose.

And for those that like to see Epic pictures here is a Ork Junkatrukk.

Since the last picture was taken I have drybrushed the rock face and the rocks with various shades of grey.

I then with a brush put some PVA (white glue) down before covering it with a Woodland Scenics grass flock.

This is a close-up of the Ork vehicle in the terrain.

Still needing to add some more foliage and some different flock to get a more natural feel.

The last picture of the Photographic Terrain Desert was taken in the garage when it was still wet.

Here is a picture of it in the sun, now dry.

This picture shows (though it is still unfinished) how I am going to use it for photographs.

Still some work to do.

Having forgotten to take a picture of the intermediate stage from the last picture, I spray painted the scenery.

Starting off with a black spray for the rockface, this was followed by a rust red colour and finally a brown spray. The picture shows it just after I finished so the paint is still wet.

The next stage will be drybrushing.

In case you were wondering the board is 19″ across and 14″ deep.

I decided to add some extra hillocks using two small bits of polystyrene.

Having used a mixture of polyfilla (wall filler), white glue, brown paint, model railway ballast, model railway coal and some water I added the mixture to the board.

After this was left to dry the next stage was to add the sand.

I used Games Workshop sand, which is not too fine (unlike my son’s sandpit sand) and also has tiny stones as well.

I flowed some PVA (white) glue into the scenery and then using a wet brush watered down the glue. I then covered this with the sand and left it to dry.

Leave it to dry for at least an hour and preferably overnight.

Having used a mixture of polyfilla (wall filler), white glue, brown paint, model railway ballast, model railway coal and some water I added the mixture to the board.

Once this was dry, I spray painted the board.

I first used black spray, then a dark earth and finally a grey spray.

I now have to dry brush the terrain.

Due to a few gaps in the terrain I will be making this a green landscape with lots of foilage.

Did some work on my photographic terrain boards, using a mixture of polyfilla (wall filler), white glue, brown paint, model railway ballast, model railway coal and some water.

Mucky and brown and lots of gunge, but works well.

Photographs soon.
