Swamp, pond, and a ton of Epoxy
Starting from the end..
Small ponds / swamps are actually interesting terrain features for small skirmish games. By slowing movement without blocking line of sight, they add an interesting tactical element.
My aim was to create quickly a few terrain features by messing around with cheap Epoxy.
I chose to avoid more expensive/fancy water resin and only stick to really cheap Epoxy.
All the Epoxy used were bought at the Dollar store.
Here is the final and best terrain feature (more details and pictures at the end):
Nice little swamp I will go through all the experiments and failures that led to this final piece so that people can avoid the same mistakes that I made 🙂
Too small and the static grass is sticking to the surface... One of the first piece that I made was too small. Also, I added some flocking grass about an hour after pouring the Epoxy.
Although it’s 5-minute Epoxy, the surface will remain a little bit sticky for a while, so the static grass stuck to the “water” surface.
Tip #1: add flocking/grass before pouring the Epoxy.
