Edit: This thread has changed direction and is dedicated to the building of my Sisters of Battle Commandery (Convent). Cut out the preamble and jump to page 3 to see it start. Andy's fault! Anyway, these boards are just gathering dust so I need to start getting them into a game worthy condition. The first thing I needed to do, was to build yet another Pegasus bridge as the first one I built just ain't big enough! So this one is going to need painting but not before I plaster a few more dead over it. Some of these dead will be Blood Pact. It's a large bridge so I need to add some details to make it interesting.  This bridge will need defending. I intend to buy a couple of FW Pillboxes and scratch a few emplacements, such as these Tobruk's, awaiting a splash of paint.  Don't expect miracles, this will take a little time in between other projects. Edited by Digits, Yesterday, 12:56 AM.

Looking good thus far mate. Are you going for a river or a wadi under the bridge? Dave out. |

Dave, it can be a dry wadi! Need to keep the boards flexible. I may have to build up the bridge approaches (or two removeable bases) as the bridge isn't high enough for a Chimera to scoot under. Andy  If it's remotely the same colour then can't see why not! |

Isn't that a requirement for wadi classification? Dave out. |

Aye, it's a dried up riverbed to be sure. I've driven through a few in the Oman that had water pools in though. I just don't want to model water or streams so Wadi will be dry. |

Sounds like a good premise for the board. Maybe use a bit of filler to make more of a slope heading up towards the bridge? |

By not sleeping. Really. Only about 5 hours a night so I have at least 3 hours after everyone else is in bed. Plus, I work 40 hours over 4 ½ days so I get Friday to myself. Things slow down in the Summer with other hobbies & holidays though. I suppose I need to start sanding these then.... |

No, don't like them as they are, they definitely need sand. Besides, all my buildings / figures / scenic stuff are based the same way.

fair one though I would be a bit concerned that the sand may make them more prone to wear and tear. with sections of sand lifting everytime you take them out of the case. I presume you are looking at using PVA to stick it down. not worrying about the cross over with other terrain that much myself, I dont think it will be that much of an issue. |

would spraying it with hair spray help stop that? when doing Art with chalk pastels we sprayed it with that stuff to help it stick |

Hairspray wouldn't be strong enough if the boards rubbed together I'm afraid. I see where Andy is coming from. Often pva'd sand will lift from the edge of say a heavy weapon base. That's why I dab clumps of superglued sand around the edges first. Anyway, I wasn't planning to cover the whole board, just selected areas. |

I'd thought of that myself but was worried I'd make the boards too single use. Looks nice though. |
