First I had picked up just a cheap white board. I've done picture frames and cork boards but this time I thought I'd try the white board. I also decided I was going to use some more of that spray texture I had for the basecoat so that required taping the edges off.
Oh wait I didn't talk about this stuff yet did I! While I was not posting I had picked up this stuff and worked up a new table for games at the house. I guess I need to post about that sometime!
Anyway this stuff is pretty cheap and actually does a good job of creating a sand like quality that is still actually flat and (so far) durable. I just use a little dark first then cover it all with the lighter color.
So I hit the display board up with the two layers of spray and by itself it looked pretty good. I was a bit worried it wouldn't stick to the white board at first but one it dried it was fine. The downside is when I peeled off the tape it did pull the edges so there were bits of white poking through.
Of course I still based the whole thing anyway with my normal basing GW sand and green flock. I'm just keeping this simple for now at least.
Then I grabbed the marines and added patches of green flock. I plan to add rocks and static grass too but I still need to highlight the bikes including weathering the tires. Extra vertical flock would just make that more difficult.
So that's it for now. A bit more painting in the last few days to be 'ready' as I will get for Clesticon!
