Terrain Fest 2024: Desert Table
Phase 4- Repurposing some old desert terrain
So for phase 4. I am repurposing some old desert terrain that I made about five or six years ago. Now I could’ve probably just thrown them on the table and used it and been like oh what the heck it’ll work. But what is the point of train fest if you’re not gonna go all out and make everything shine! So I busted out my paint and I’m just giving everything a fresh coat so it will match, and then I will give it the same sand and darkness treatment that I did to my hills. If you are wondering what the rubber bands are for in the second picture.it broke. Had to re-glue it. The seam is where my finger is in the picture I also added some pics of the half painted pieces so you can see how the new color will change with the old color was. Something else to think about. This nice thick enamel home paint helps to make a nice safety coat on this pink foam. Another good way to safety off some pink foam if you wanna spray paint it. Is to go over it with some MOD PODGE first it will give it a clear sealed coat, but you will be able to spray it with any aerosol spray paint. Otherwise, if you spray pink foam board with spray paint it will erode it like pouring acid on butter. So once this dries tomorrow, I will begin the next stage of adding some texture and some darker colors. See you then. Peace out!
Now that the sand and glue has dried, I can add some color to the texture. I want the smaller pieces to match the hills to make a really nice and complete gaming table and gaming experience. Not only will the smaller pieces break up the landscape, they will also serve as a great line of site blockers and areas for models to hide behind in smaller skirmish games. I can also use these for smaller scale, Miniatures games such as epic war path, which I’m waiting for my Kickstarter to arrive. I could use these as a desert table and I think they would work perfect for that. Anyways, now that I am letting this dry, I will dry brush it and add the highlights once the spray paint is dried for a while. I can totally picture some sand people popping up behind these rocks, screaming in a good game of Star Wars Legion. 🤙🏼😎
