Parts are printed and mostly sanded. I started laying out the board.

As originally intended, I’m using an Ikea Lack table as the base board. It’s 55cm square, so just under 2’ but I’m fine with it. Cheap, light and fairly durable.

The raised areas are built with basic styrofoam to save weight. Glued with PVA and some cocktail sticks to hold them in place. I’ve shaped them very roughly with a knife, creating an absolute mess of polystyrene balls.

I started covering and smoothing the polostyrene with Geek Gaming modelling compound. New material for me, but seems to be working rather nicely.

The aircraft pieces aren’t glued on yet, I will be priming them separately before I start blending them into the board.

Today I’m still going to get the primer on the plane and finish bulking up rest of the raised areas, to have everything dying for tomorrow so that I can start slapping some paint on.
