Why Do Older Women Wear Nylons

Making hills for your gaming tables

To achieve these hills, I used
extruded polystyrene
recovery, 2 cm thick.
After being rudely
form to pyromellitic saw, I sanded
to round off the edges and
irregularities.
In my little pot, a mixture of ocher and green acrylic paints to get the tender green that I wanted. Fearing
still see the paint flaking and to improve adhesion to the polystyrene, I added the wood glue to the mixture. I therefore fully
whitewashes the surface of my hills green and let dry, like a primer.





Once the primer is dry, I repeated the operation, always with the same mixture. With wood glue, the viscosity of the mixture is important. My
flocking trays are ready, it remains only sprinkle the hill immediately after the application of this "coating" sticky.








Do not skimp on the flocking. Any excess will be recovered and recycled through the cardboard calendar on which I work. I had previously folded in two in order to form a trough and recover the precious flock. I will collect all the surplus that fall off the hill or to be dropped next.

Here this big hill, was coated and flocked in twice (which is not a good idea, then we see the junction)




Here are two small hills made sprayed with 2 color different.
To finish the job, I bomb satin varnish (Games-Workshop or otherwise) to improve the adhesion of the flocking. With two layers of paint underneath, polystyrene is protected and is not attacked by the solvent of the bomb. I realized

7 hills in a very short time and very easily. They are very light and it only remains for me to test their life situations.
Flocking is really well hung.
