Bushido Game board
Getting tricky
I’ve been doin some cleaning of scenery and then fish and some light painting on them, but due to some stress, I’ve been putting of the step I was not looking forward to anyway.
First here’s some of the scenery I ordered from mastercrafted miniatures.
Really nice stiff and perfect for Bushido.
I have made a bit of a mix of the types of grass I used and used this to make a bit of a blend. It looks better this way. Not perfect, but better. I also mad a few patches of this mix for even more variety.
Than the scary part. I though about making the “dam”to keep the resin pour out of foamboard, but decided on testing a few drops first. I put some duct-tape on a piece of foamcore and dropped a few splatters of the mixed resin on both. This taught me: The resin will adhere to the paper and look bad and it will take the structure of anything it’s poured on. Bit obvious, the latter, but not something I had considered.
I ended up using some industrial double sided tape to keep a piece of pvc coated cloth in place. This stuff is used to make trailer coverings and stuff. I got it from work, but I think any piece of plastic will do. The important thing was that I could be wrapped around the corner, but still remain upright.
Unfortunately, when I made the mix and added as tiny bit of camo green to it, my construction wasn’t waterproof as I had assumed. I first messed around with a glue gun, but ended up using more duct-tape. I figured I had some cleaning up to do in the end anyway. I hope I’ll manage to do this in 4 pours. I’ll start adding fish to the next one, after finishing their paintjob this evening.
