Adventures through history
Gaming Board
Morning all.
Productive weekend here, unfortunately not in the mini’s front, but progress has been made non the less. On the plus side, we have a 90% complete gaming board done and ready for games to be play on it.
After cutting the legs to size after being removed from the table, these were glued in place with PVA and held in place with a heavy pile of books while the glue dried. Once dried they were secured with wall staples.
Next up was to get some paint on. While it was dry outside, we got the board sprayed up with some cheap black spray paint from Poundland. Again, once dry, this was masked off with tape for the bottom 3 inches and then sprayed with the black to stop paint leaking under the masking tape.
Brown Paint next. This was a cheap acrylic brown, again from the Poundland, mixed with some PVA glue and was applied all over the play area and then sprinkled with some sand for texture and to help with disguising the staples.
When this was dry, it was time for flocking with a selection of flocks stored away.
And here we have it in all its glory with the mini work queue all lined up and ready to go.
Yes, it’s not the cleanest, due to damage the top sheet of MDF had sustained, but in the future, this could be covered with back paper.
the board still needs a coating of watered-down PVA to seal everything and the edges need a hand-painted coat of paint to touch it up, but for now it’s done and usable.
