I wanted the Wheat Field (it gets capitalized because it's that important) to be a really bright yellow to make it really pop on the table, so I used 'Fall Yellow Course Turf.' Like I said, you want to be sprinkling out the flock while the caulk is still wet so have the flock ready to go after you pour the caulk.
Yes this pic is sideways, just seeing if your paying attention PROTIP: I have found that 'turf' works better than just static grass. just shake it out over the caulk and maybe press down here and there to make sure the flock really gets into the paint. This whole process is really just an extension of the techniques I used to make my own wargame mats, seen HERE.įor the field, you're gonna do the same thing, except in the shape of the field obviously, plus one additional step: while the cualk/paint mixture is still wet dump a whole lot of flock over it. I can recommend Red Beards Youtube channel as being a good resource and I stole one of his techniques (more on that later). There are several good tutorials online, so hopefully this post will take it's place among them. Also, I like to make terrain and try new things and I was going to need a LOT of roads eventually so if this process works it'll give me nearly unlimited roads. but like many people I only have SO much hobby money, and cash saved here can be spend there. However the roads do come in 2" wide sections as well. everytime I use them people ask me where I got then, but 4" wide is too big for 15mm. I have some excellent roads from Wargamer's Terrain that I got in 4" width for my 28mm wargames.
Now I could of just bought roads, and I was tempted to.
Since I'm running this scenario again in about 2 weeks at Midsummer Conquest, now seems like a good time to do that. In it I mention that I wished the field was just a little bigger and more colorful. Mainly, I'll be making The Wheat Field for the scenario Caldwell Clears the Wheat Field.
Bonus content: I'll also be making a few fields.
