Setting up the game

Blogging live from Fall In


Some shots of the game as we set up.

Building Rivoli Battlefield part 5

We are almost done! We got 2 good days of work in over the weekend and made significant progress. Much to my wife's dismay. When we last left off we were flocking fields. That takes time as we have to wait hours for the paint to dry. Also we don't want to do too many fields at one time as we recover the flock that does not stick. We try not to mix the colors of the recovered flock.

But all that is behinds us as the pictures below will show!


Now that the fields are done, we put in hedgerows between the fields and along the roads. We use Woodland scenic products, Clump Foliage, Lichens etc. But they don't always have the colors we want. So we started making our own flock. The hardest part was using the oven and cookie pans when my wife wasn't looking.

Gluing down hedgerows

We drop a bead of white glue and just go clump by clump. It's a long process.

Every road, every field. Tedious, but we really like the effect.

Here's the table mostly done. We have to do some touch up, add flock/clump foliage to the rough areas and pour the river.

Rivoli is the center of this shot.

This is looking north up the river valley, with Rivoli on the left.

So close to finishing, we can't wait.

Next up is the river pour, that is tonight!
