Summer Bo(a)redom 2: The Inconclusive Sequel

Hi and welcome to another installment of the blog. Wait, what is that you say? A blogpost this soon after the other one? Well every hit summer blockbuster needs a sequel, and as the second installment of a trilogy, it will be interesting but inconclusive. Given recent success of concepts including weather anomalies, sharks and plain old Bad Lizard versus Giant robot-movies I am sad to say that this blog will not be like that. Robots will probably be included at some point in the future.

Some work has been made on the table by this point, stick with me and read on!

The topography of the table is starting to take shape. The stream is there and... Just disregard the mess in the upper right corner, that will be sorted later.

Also included in this photo is a sneak peek of my Battle Mages.

 After the table got painted with thinned down layers of PVA glue to sort the surface of the foam, it was time for some wall filler to sort the gradient on the sloping parts. It's the really lightweight kind, thankfully. I don't want to end up with a table weighing the equivalent of a small car.

A second layer of filler was laid down after this photo was taken to make the gradient better.

So, the filler had to dry, and what was a man to do with the boredom that instigated? Well, I did mention a square, did I not? Well, let's bring out some tools, foamboard and... hours to spare.

Symbol laid down using a stencil, cobblestones laid down using custom tool and.... Hours of work

Alot more flagstones completed and.. Placings for eventual statues laid down

And here we go. Flagstones for this part completed. 3 kinds... Sure was fun.

 So, filler is all dry and nice, time to get back to work on the board and not just parts of it. The square was glued down prior to the photo got taken. I decided to cover most of the board with fine grit sand to give it some tooth when painting. Just need get to it and finish covering the board.

Note: There will be more work done to the square as well. No filler work yet and it needs more cobblestones.
