I put a clothes pin in there for scale, as much as it helps. From a different angle:
In trying to get these ready for the upcoming Game Parlor throwdown, I'm farming the finishing of these out to EV. Sadly reading for class is going to take up most of my limited free time between now and Monday, so EV has graciously agreed to run with the torch from here. Hopefully I can con him into taking some WIP shots as he goes. Half-finished though they are, this is still the first terrain I've made, so seeing a table's worth of cover that I've made myself is rather satisfying. I got a scouring pad from EV a couple days ago the help "sand" the foam. You can see the difference between the island that wasn't scoured (on the far right) and the rest of them.
I've got pictures of every step of the way, excluding the initial covering with ballast. The islands will be looking good for Monday. If you feel the need to make more islands, make a couple that are mainly cliff faces.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I made an area of rocky shallows for the board. We needed something "hard and pointy" for our table, and building a coral reef just seemed like too much work.
