Planting our hills and rocks for the terrain board.

The last terrain building post!  Now we get to our hills and rocky outcroppings.

Here's a review for those who have not seen the previous post about flocking the main board.  We got our flock together, and made a few mixes of various colors, making sure to mix the fine and course turf together.

Just as we did with the main board, we had a dish of wood glue and lots of newspapers!

While Cathy was flocking the hills, I worked on the rocks.  I used a mix that had more green and coarse turf around the bottom of the rocks, with a finer, more brownish mix on the upper surfaces.

Once the flock is covering the 'rougher' areas where maybe the knife went 'astray', they really have a nice look to them!

Here's Cathy working on the hills.  We also had the flock go down the sides of the hills in some places...

And the whole batch done!  Time to clean off the table!

Finally, we add some of our own buildings and trees, and you have a nifty board ready for a battle!!
