Burntside Hill terrain part 6

Water areas completed using a good gloss varnish, I use Ronseal Ultra Tough Hardglaze Gloss. This is a polyurethane varnish which is what you want, the water based gloss varnishes just don't dry shiny enough!
Here's a shot of the section I've been using to show the tecniques.
One of the tiles and a close up
To get some idea of scale first with 10mm Pendraken stuff, hopefully I've achieved the barren Falklands look?
 

Here's a shot with 20mm figures, a UKSF patrol calls a halt!
Keep watching! Dougie

  1. Wow Dougie, that is really great. Both the 10mm and the 20mm figs on there look terrific!

  2. Thanks Raptor, it looks better than the photos show, I'll take some more shots with a daylight bulb, always get better results that way. Dougie

  6. Your water is excellent, the smooth surface is difficult to get and you have it down pat.

  7. Bloody amazing work - bravo! And this terrain looks to be very robust, especially with the 12mm MDF foundation.
