I have now completed the terrain board (almost!) amd painted a few more models

Sorry thete are no step by step photos of this but I was in a hurry to get this finished so I will try to share my process here

Step 1 Having smoothed out all the contours with polyfilla I made a brown mix of poster paints and pva glue and slapped it all over the board.

Step 2 Once dry, I coated the four corner flat areas in PVA glue, and using a sieve I sprinkled on Geeks Gaming Scenics base ready scrublands, this ensured I would be able to place scenic elements on these areas, this was left to dry

Step 3 I covered the rest of the board in PVA glue and then sprinkled on the complete scrub landscape mix all larger pebbles included. I actually run out part way through  so I then used a mix of other Geek Gaming Scenics base ready materials inc, city rubble and Mediterranean. This was left to dry.

Step 4 This next element was completely new to me, but I had seen it done on YouTube videos  so  I thought I would give it a go. I selected a range of different static grasses, and flocks as well as coloured and natural sands and semi randomly lightly sprinkled this on to the board by hand a pinchful at a time, every so often pausing to ascertain what I needed to add. Once I was satisfied with the spread of colours I sealed this layer on with many coats of Matt Varnish.

Step 5 final detailing. I cleaned up and finished pff the road service using dark washes and drybrushes with various tone of grey and brainmatter beige. I glued the wooden bridge in place an blended it into the road with a mix of base ready products. Followed  by a final coat of matt varnish.

I am really pleased how this turned out considering I had never tried this before.

For the bridge, I used a couple of trench walkways from my abandoned Trench Crusade project (made from coffee stirrers and wood strips from Cornwal Model Boat CompanyFor the bridge, I used a couple of trench walkways from my abandoned Trench Crusade project (made from coffee stirrers and wood strips from Cornwal Model Boat Company
