Not "Dune 1984"

Well yesterday BoW ate my 2nd post and it was a big wall of text. So from now on i will use the update entry button more often.

After finishing the board ground i had to do the board sides. This took some time and experimenting. And the board was finished about 6 weeks before the Tactica. My idea on the inside of the board was a horizon. I never did this before. So i again looked on pics of deserts (see previous post). At first i tried to use paper stripes. But that doesn’t work. The paper is too thin and dents, when glued on a board. So i used 0,5mm thick plasticard stripes. On this i airbrushed a transition from bright blue to dark blue and then i added a yellow for the dust, which gave it a green tone. At last i airbrushed some yellow clouds in the distant.  After this i halved the stripes and painted on the bottom part the same sahara colour, which i used on the board. After trying i added dunes with the airbrush with bigger dunes on the bottom and smaller ones on the higher end (possible i overdid a bit here). I really like the result:

Accidents happen. Whit all stripes prepared. i glued them to the board. I advice here to paint the top and bottom sides before glueing those stripes in. You may later not reach them.

So you may now notice the dune logos and the house logos. These are stickers. The house logos are from red-ape design. And the dune logos i ordered from a professional. I tried a big waterslide decal, but on this size and so thin this does not work. Trust me i tried.

I really like the overall effect:

Next no board, without terrain. And BoW tried to ate my post again 😉
