After several weeks of not touching it, I've gotten some more done on the table. I have enough tiles to fill it, with some left over. I've got four corner hills, one ridge, one alien landscape and one river. I'll need more rivers but I want to make sure the first one works out before I use the time and materials for the rest.

In the picture above you can see the river, which will be lined with spackle (polyfilla) then painted separately. I have high hopes for the water, so I hope this works out. There will be three sections that run from one side to the opposite. I'll do a fourth section that takes a 90 degree turn.

The river section. |
There are four corner hills. I've built one ridge, to fit between them. I have another ready to be cut, but again, I wanted to see how it looked before I put the time into a second one. I think it will work well.

The two hills and ridge from the side. |
The paint is a gallon cane of gray with sand in it that I got at Home Depot. I paid full price for this can, but it works great for a textured basecoat for most of my projects.

Next step will be to get the "grass" glued down. That will be followed by a coat of brown with dry brushes up to bone white. I also want to do a couple of tiles as desert and some as water. I may to water on the reverse of the flat tiles. Hmmm. So many options now. It's almost game worthy. I'm very excited.
looking great will be a stunning looking table when complete
