Four and a half inch squares are the bases for this terrain project. Why that
size? Because it is the same size as a CD. Is that a good or bad reason? I
dunno. It's just what I was thinking when I turned some thick folders into
terrain bases.
This is pretty straightforward. I got to it because I accumulated a bunch of
rocky, decorative bases. I don't really use decorative bases, but I will use
them here. Including the big cork monstrosity.
After gluing the bases down, I start with a base of mucky brown.
Then I swirled in some forest green while the brown was still wet. On top of that
muckity-muck, I sprinkled some green flock for texture.
The key bit is after the paint dried, I sprayed matte sealant on top, to hold it
all together.
But matte doesn't say swamp, so I did a couple layers of thick gloss on top of that
which give both slimy shine and a little swirly texture.
Four colours of grey on the stones, but the key factor is only matte sealant, to
give a big contrast to the muck. Realistically, the rocks might be slimy, too,
but I like the contrast effect. I feel it makes the stones pop.
And, of course, what pops more than a
carnivorous plant?
Maybe a few stoneless ones are next up ...
