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, 21 Nov 2009, 11:56 PM.

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!

Plus, I work 40 hours over 4 � 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....

Shadowkin Posts: 18,951 Group: Super Admin Member #6 Joined: September 18, 2007	No, don't like them as they are, they definitely need sand. Besides, all my buildings / figures / scenic stuff are based the same way. Edited by Digits, 8 Mar 2009, 02:53 PM.

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.

Shadowkin Posts: 18,951 Group: Super Admin Member #6 Joined: September 18, 2007	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.

Shadowkin Posts: 18,951 Group: Super Admin Member #6 Joined: September 18, 2007	I'd thought of that myself but was worried I'd make the boards too single use. Looks nice though.
