Making basic terrain Tutorial

[manrogue]

Onwards and upwards to Stage 2 of our terrain making affair.
What you will need for this section is as follows-
Good old PVA glue
Sand, preferably builders as you want it hard and stoney. though any kind is fine.
masking tape or filler (the kind for your walls)
a mixing tub
an old paintbrush and tooth brush (only required if using filler)
To start with we need to get rid of the cracks around the edge of the wall sections and other areas. you can either apply masking tape like so-

or use filler like so-

once we have gone over everything it should end up looking a little like this-


you should leave the piece to dry out for a while if using filler, if you using masking tape carry on to next bit.

THis is the final section of stage 2 and also the messiest! what we want to do now is create a coating to go over our terrain, using PVA as a base to harden the terrain up and give it some stability, but also to make it look more war ravaged. Using a kind rough mix of sand, PVA and water (Roughly 30% sand, 40% PVA and 30% water, mix water in last while mixing to the required consistancey) which should be like this-

Next up you should coat the ENTIRE piece in this mix, making sure not to miss any bits. it should look like this after-

Just noticed those green bits in the corner? I added some clipped down sprue pieces into the mix and positioned them into the corners to appear like rubble, these should be applied at the of the process with the remaining mix if you would like a similar effect.
Now we just have to wait for it to dry, which should be a 16 hour job (overnight) just to be on safe side.
And thats the end of stage 2. next stage- Painting and finishing touches!
