1/600 Desert Battlefield - Part 3

Well the board wound up warping on me a bit as you can see in the bottom picture but not enough to render it unplayable IMO. Still must add some mud and green to the oasis and touch up the road. Have yet to decide if I will use all of the North African buildings or some. In either case they still need to be primed and painted. Same with my palm trees.

1/600 Desert Battlefield - The Crescent Oasis Part 2

The first sections of groundwork are complete. After letting these dry overnight I will add the final sections. After that dries then any patches fixed. Then comes vegetation, roadwork and the lake, rocky hills and outgrowths ending with the village.

New Terrain Board Underway: The Crescent Oasis 1/600 Scale.

Have begun work on a new 3mm battlefield. A desert oasis somewhere in North Africa. The battlefield will feature an oasis, a dusty trade road, a small village as well as several rocky outgrowths. This will be my second board with permanent terrain features. The first was the lunar board.

Basic project foamboard from Hobby Lobby $3.59 with a HL 40% Coupon. The board has a cardstock surface on front and back with foam between.

Trade road marked and the oasis cut out..

My first attempt at flocking the battlefield failed as I used a HL spray adhesive glue which did not do anything but make my hands and arms sticky. Will use the tried and true but timely Elmers glue tomorrow.

Picked this up at B&N on Friday with a 20% coupon. So glad I did. This fits right in with my planned Clockwork Civil War 1/600 Battles that is on my planning board
