I know, I know I`m still doing the Normandy board
thing lol. Its been on hold for a while but my
creative juice has returned and its back to the
grind stone. I have been working on a small river/
stream and its taken some time to get it right. I hate
the lovely blue rivers you get on most wargaming boards
and wanted something a bit more disgusting looking to be
exact. Thus I need multiple coats of varnish over lots of
greens and browns because that’s the colour of the nearest
stream to me.

Now I have got the basis of the river in place I can
start to work on the bocage around it. I hope to cover
a lot of the river with overgrown stuff so it really looks
like a silted up, stagnant , slow running river.
Loads more work to do on the trench section and gun battery pits
but that will be a lot easier to do than the river.

Looking really good! Every time I see your terrain boards, I get jealous, and want to make some. But then I remember I’d have to live with them!
That is a problem plus the smell varnish makes drying over a 7 day period drove the Mrs crazy.
Maybe I’ll do some for a convention game some day. Just can’t beat the level of detail and being able to have depressed features!
The river looks amazing. I like boards, but until I settle down in one place they are not an option. I wouldn’t mind making some flexible rivers similar to what you have so they can represent larger rivers than the streams I have. I just need to get focused!
Thanks . The river is just layers and layers of clear varnish over some green/brown paint. 2×2 boards actually don’t take up that much space especially when they are stacked on top of each other. Saying that you still need a spare corner in your house to hide them in.
