A river ran through it.

I have been trying to prepare my table for the start of Mission 2. That required a river. All went a bit wrong really.

Used parts of unwanted mdf paint racks to make a base. Used a filler /pva mix to give me banks and a river bed and sprinkled in flint shards to give texture.
Painted and then poured on clear varnish. The tape i used to keep the varnish in… let some of the varnish escape which was a pain.
I can’t tell at what stage, but noticed that the base warped fairly badly. Then i made a big mistake, thinking that adding a PVA glue might top up the level cheaply and dry clear… It dried as a misty layer. ?
I tried to salvage it by painting with Army Painter Strong shade and more varnish, but I have been left with a very muddy finish.
I have learnt a lot of lessons and at least have something to game the next mission with.
