Port San Ecila

One of those things that I have laid thinking about at night was the odd end’s of slope that have been were I don’t have hexon peice’s to fit, As it it is I hada tub of Cork peices, and thought rocky outcrops. So I cut some leftover MDF bits from various models to fit.

I then glued various bits of The Cork all over the mdf  with bigger peices butting up to were it meets the flat mdf edges.

Then I sprayed them GW Zandri Dust.

Now I should have dry brushed them at this point , but forgot, as I then as an experiment filled in the gaps with Clear PVA. I have been told and it can dry opaque in patchs but as this is on the shoreline, it will hopefully look like foam , breakers.

I still have the option to lightly dry brush the tops, and the glue should help fix the Cork if nothing else

Strangely the next idea didn’t come till I had done the above and was looking at the bay sides with the regular hexon edges and thought how can I simply hide those edges. And thought why not use the rest of the Cork tube poured at the edges, which can be cleared up when the table is cleared.

Well apart from some final photos of the finished hexon ends finished, that is pretty much this project Finished.

There are two more Mdf Buildings in the post, but that wiil be used to have a bigger half the long side of table port, aptly named Port Nasus , an old Dutch Colony.

At some point I’m going to have to map these fictional Caribbean Islands and Ports for when and if the Campaign grows.

I had fun doing this project helped by the Terrainfest Challenge. Which if nothing else has given me the impetus to not only try and complete it, but go that little extra mile ( I can hear Lloydy and Warren whispering in my head a bout the open hexon edges)Like Justin’s this isn’t meant to be high modelling but more an attempt to fit much of the terrain I had to fill the narrative for the planned training games, Hopefully I’ve showed how adaptable the Hexon Terrain is. It is now coming up for being nearly 20 years since Kevin and myself covered his house floor in  drying tiles  and they have stayed flocked very well , despite being in constant use for much of that time.

Anyway now I can return to doing some updates on ‘Voyages of the Fluffy Bunny, which has some Mote ships, Spanish and Native Americans to show.
