Yes, here it is, after 4 years of mini gaming, I am finally making a wargaming board. I went to my local Hela (that is the german home depot) and bought 2 wood panels to be my boards.

I glued some felt to the underside which I hope will protect my table, then I made a PVA + sand mix and slathered it onto the board.

Once I got the sand the way I liked it, I primed it. I forgot to take a picture of it primed so you will have to imagine a board painted white.

Once that dried I attacked it with my acrylics. A mix of brown and red to give it an iron rich earthy color. A few dry brushes later for high lights, the board is ready for flock and static grass!

Thanks for posting, look forward to seeing it progress

Not many have tackled an iron style board, should be interesting this one.

This is great. I was just thinking about making a battle board.
So much cooler than setting up on the kitchen table with fake grass.

Inspiring!
