I thought it would be fun to build a purpose built table for the Barrels out of Bond scenario.  I started with a 4'X 6' sheet of Plywood and hardboard. We made measurements and I cut the river out with a jig saw.  I will cut the pink foam and start glue up Saturday. Time to read the book. |

Thanks for the nice comments. Building the table in the Tree Fort's workroom turned out to generate some enthusiasm. I had the basic idea of the plain for the table from the White Dwarf. When I was able to make measurements from the Hobbit Supplement, Ed,Chuck and Mike had the river out line measured and marked out with in a few minutes. I set the jig saw at a steep angle and cut the sheet stock with a a smooth cut blade. It took a bit longer but cut down on sanding. We had the top cut out, sanded and fitted to the table and the shop vacuumed up in time for the club Friday night dinner. The plan for today is to cut out the hills and glue up the parts. I will take a tablesaw so I can finish up Mike's D&D project too. |

The BBC website has an interesting snippet of the start of the Barrels out of bond experience - it is in the middle of this short piece: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25268251 I like the tipping trapdoor arrangement! |

Your so lucky having all that space, planning on making river banks that can go on to a blue cloth |

I have been working most of the day. Time for dinner.  I cut the high ground from plywood. I used pine bark for the rock faces.  I used dry wall tape to cover the gaps. Wood glue and drywall screws hold the bark in place.  The filler is dry wall compound. I come back and work some more after dinner. |

I will try to get it painted tomorrow. I want it to dry for a week before I add the water and rapids. I will make some nice Mirkwood trees as well.    I am going to need to make a bucket of Fall trees

There is an old saying about how a real expert makes doing anything look easy. This is coming together so fast! Can I suggest having a large fallen dead tree spanning the lesser gap between the island and the shore - high enough off the water so the barrels can pass below, but affording elves (and anyone else for that matter) the chance to get above them, like in the trailers for DoS. Maybe have it as an option - something that can be added in to provide a bit of variation on the game. I wish I had this much time for making and space for tables |

It just takes time and experience to become expert. I hope by showing the WIP in stages to convince some of you to make your own terrain. I would not have been able to build a scenario table with out the Tree Fort Games owner's consent to build it and keep it there. I usually advocate modular terrain. The fallen tree idea is a very good one. This is the difference between a fixed diorama and a wargame table. If I go for super detail water and embed the island in resin I won't be able to move or remove it. I like the idea of using the table for different scales and your idea of the overhanging tree/fallen trees. I have almost decided to use Realistic Water and Water Effects instead of EnviroTex Lite resin. I will make that decision when I see the movie. Thanks every one for the nice comments. For today, I plan to base coat and dry brush the basic colors. I will apply a layer of Scenic Express pasture blend flock. I will leave the river flat dark blue until I see the movie at the midnight show Thursday. I will Brush the Plaster snow out of the store trees and repaint them and flock them with Woodland Scenic dark green medium flock. I won't have time this week we are going to play Bolt action today. I plan to make a new set of Mirkwood trees after I have seen the movie. I have cut bases that will fit the hills on this table.  I have something like this in mind. |

Nice! Plain can mean normal or a big place with grass that is flat or so, so spellcheck can't notice that of course. Is that board supposed to be in the real world, and if yes where? |
