Once all the elements were dry it was down to the flocking stage. The original river had some nice wave effects so it looked good when it was dry brushed. I also dry brushed what was now the river bed so that when I poured the water on it would have some gradient to it. I dry brushed the stones with various greys and also tried to get a bit of a blend between the banks and rocks so that they the line doesn’t look too severe.
The banks were given two simple dry brushes one of German Khaki and the second a mix of German Khaki and Desert Sand. I then decided I was going to put water effects on the river sections and painted the river with the same colours I’d used for the banks.Įven though a fair bit of the actual river banks would be covered in either flock or foliage I still dry brush it all as you never know where you might want to put the flock until you start. The little stone elements on each section got a coat of black and then I started the dry brushing. My first thought was to not paint the actual river sections as they looked okay and I wasn’t at the start planning on putting down a realistic water. I use tester pots from Wilkinsons for a lot of the terrain as it’s nice and cheap, for those interested the colour is called Java. The first thing I did was coat the river banks in sand and then paint them brown. It has 3mm thick base board and good design to it, it’s just nothing special and the colours don’t really fit my current look which is a bit darker. The river sections I have I picked up at a bring and buy years ago and its okay. But I will go over things again just to make it easier to follow along. This tutorial will be using a few of the ideas I’ve already covered in past tutorials so the application is simple. But as some of you may have seen in my other articles I’ve been slowly trying to up my game. I used to be very much like that and it’s been more about getting stuff on the table and playing games than the elements behind the scene like terrain.

I will post more about my vietnam terrain as I create it. You can see a video by him about the process here This wasn’t my original idea to be fair, though I nicked it from Mel, aka the terrain tutor. The clumps have to dry now for 24h and will be ready to do a coarse scatter for the jungle bases and the bases of my miniatures. Two different shades of green clump foliage and some brown: So I put the still damp foam shreds int a bowl with household paint and some PVA:Īnd this is what came out after mixing the foam shreds with the color: So this doesn’t look like terrain clumps as the color is all wrong. I blended them for a few seconds and had this: I cut it into smaller peaces with a pair of scissors and added these together with some water into a blender. I know someone who does upholstery as a profession and he gave me offcuts of upholstery foam seen here: I need a lot of clump foliage for my jungle terrain, so instead of buying it I thought about doing it myself. As i have to do some terrain for my ongoing Vietnam war project.
