Average Pros Gaming

Sunday the kids and I dug up a bunch of dirt and gravel in front of our house (finally a positive side to the city leaving our roads in disrepair?) and I separated the dirt and gravel and rocks into different sizes and containers. Today I mixed the dirt and some of the smallest rocks and mixed it with PVA glue to create this slurry that will form the ground and river bed. The ground will then receive several layers of flocking over the course of the build, but I think this should make for an effective river bottom.

I did this part of the board because it isn’t going to have anything printed to put on it. I want to apply the trees and the buildings to the board before I put this slurry over their sections, to help blend them into the board.

Todays progress. I did in the water effects and the dry brushing of the rocks and dirt. I also used gloss mod podge everywhere that Is supposed to be water or wet (water isn’t wet). Then I took white paint and stippled out onto the current marks made by the joint compound.

Some of the gloss mod podge is refusing to dry in the crevice at the base of the waterfall, so I can’t apply any washes yet.

All that remains is to create the water fall effect from 2 part epoxy and wash everything.

Gonna have to make a blue wash for the water, fortunately I have some blue ink to make it with.
