Today it was back to the Dragon Shoppe to do some more work on the game board! All that was left was some drybrush on the road, and then flock. That can be a messy prospect, so we brought out the newspaper once again.
We were fortunate to have a nice variety of flock on hand:
We tried to create a few mixes that had distinct colors (some more bright green, others brown, and even a very dark brown), and textures. The coarse turf was mixed with the fine turf, which was easier to glue to the board.
These mixes made it much faster for the two of us to work our way around the board...
We brought out the wood glue again, and brushed out some areas near the road to help set that off a little more...
Once the flock was placed in the wet glue, we tapped it down a bit, and that was great for keeping the loose turf at a minimum. :-)
Here we are moving around the board..
As an added bonus, we got to see the big makeup game between the Sox and Tigers (big win for the Sox!!)
We are just about done getting all the flock on the board...
The turf is in! I realized that it was a very good idea to scumble all those different colors on the board as I was painting it. This allowed us to play with the flock mixtures more than if the whole thing was a uniform green.
Now the road gets its lighter drybrush. As cathy did that, I washed off my green fingers!
Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode where we flock the hills and rocky outcroppings. Here is a sneak peek of the final result...
