A small adjustment

July 25, 2020

Talking to my regular gaming buddy, I started considering storage. I was planning bamboo and plants around the pond, but this would increase the vertical footprint. My friend suggested some weighted down little pieces that I could remove, using washer to weigh them down. I quickly decided for a lttle extra to keep the pieces into place. Carefully drilling some holes at the edged of the pond, I inserted some magnet. Then I covered these holes with a mixture of wallfiller and PVA. When dry some pva and sand, and then blended it in again with some pva and paint. Careful to pay attention to the polarity of the magnets as always. This will allow any set up.

When this was al dry, it was once again time for painting. This was supposed to be the fun part, but due to the humidity, the first layer of wash isn’t dry at the moment of writing.
I made 3 thin washes of cheap acrylic. 2 browns and a dark green. This I put in a random manner over the white and greay areas’s of the board. This will make sure it will look interesting when the final black washes pulls it all together.
Washes ar very thin. It’s easier to put a second wash over the model than fixing a wash that’s to dark. Keep in mind there’s a huge difference between the wet and dry look. I have made the mistake on earlier projects of making my wash to thick, because it looked off when wet.
