Bushido Game board
Some zen days
The last days have been busy with other things, so not as much progress as I’d wish. I mananged to undercoat my bamboo pieces. I dug out my airbrush and am planning a little session, weather permitting. Its gonna be hot out.
I did a bit more sculpting so I had enough room to place my zen garden and bridge. The garden was a tad to big and the legs of the bridge where floating above the chasm.
I finally stuck the garden in place, using construction kit. I wanted this to be strong, not the least to counter the slight warp the piece had sustained while drying. I placed some heavy object on top while drying and it turned out pretty good.
Next I grabbed a handfull of aquarium gravel and made a mixture of water PVA and wall filler.
Using a cheap brush I started lining the edges and place pieces of gravel in the mixture. This blended the piece with the rest of the board and actually looks pretty good and authentic. The mixture dries very quickly, though. I had to make a new badge halfway through..
After this I placed some of the mixture between the two pieces. This is to elevate the path a bit. Using a wet finger I smoothed it out. I’ll paint this all later.
