Diving into 10mm head first: project log

[BeardedHammer]

I ran out of spackle

Here is what I have done so far. The board itself is ready for the base coat as soon as the spackle is dry, but the mountain pass needs some cleaning up and spackling before its ready for paint.



I also remembered that I need to order more trees, lol

[BeardedHammer]

I got the road and grass done. I will probably do the first layer of the river tomorrow and the trees will be in by thursday

Looking good, BH !

[BeardedHammer]

Thank you  I can't help but think it looks naked without the trees.

Just at the moment, perhaps  ...But a lot of folk will find the stage by stage photo's really useful, if they fancy having a go at making their own terrain.
Cheers - Phil

[BeardedHammer]

That's why I post them. When I was starting out finding threads like this was a gold mine, so I hope I get to return the favor

[Techno]

Good on you !!
Cheers - Phil

I certainly would if time and space allowed

Question; what is spackle?

[toxicpixie]

Looking really good - am impressed at your speed

[BeardedHammer]

Spackle is the stuff you use to fill holes in walls. I don't know if it goes by any other name, but that's what the container says lol

Toxicpixie: thank you, and I got lucky tonight because the wife wanted to hang out in the office (my workspace). So while she was distracted on the computer I took advantage of the opportunity

[Ithoriel]

As far as I know Spackle is a trade name for a brand of filler. I'm not enough of a DIY enthusiast to know if it's become a generic term like 'hoover' or 'biro.'

[toxicpixie]

Smooth, I like it BeardedHammer

I think "spackle" is a kind of generic name now, at least mostly so...

[BeardedHammer]

I have a quick question for you guys. What rules does everybody use for their games? I'm specifically interested in ww2 and fantasy, but would love to hear about other rules you think highly of.

[Ithoriel]

For WW2 I use "Chain of Command" by Two Fat Lardies for skirmish and "Blitzkreig Commander 2" now by Pendraken for larger scale games (1 stand = 1 platoon) and for Fantasy I still use "Warmaster" though on this forum it would seem disloyal not to mention "Warband" recently released by Pendraken!

For WWII Spearhead for brigade level and above, looking at Chain of Command for skirmish. Don't play fantasy
