Some of you might know I'm building 2 battle tables for Cold Wars.
My friends and I, are building a 6x12 table for the Battle of Eylau and I am also building a 4x10 table for running Frostgrave. All of this going on in my not huge basement. Thankfully I have control of about 90% of the basement.
More like banished to the basement, but that's another topic.
This is not a normal, build from the ground up blog post, like Eylau, which is just built for the one battle. My Frostgrave terrain is modular to an extent and I tweak the build for each convention.
Never the same layout twice. I'm using about 60-70% of stuff I've already made. Updating some of it. Adding new pieces and adding a board section, The Harbor.
So these posts will be more random and less sequencial than the Eylau posts. So here we go.
1/2 inch foam from Lowes, 4x8 sheets. Really catches the wind in a parking lot.
Raising my old board sections to allow for harbor.
Stone quay for harbor carved from pink insulation.
The quay will be the join to the other board sections.
Testing out ship size and "iced over harbor"
Water color. 95% of the board will be ice, but some water shows through the cracks.
Painting up the join and quay.
As always more pics and write up my blog:
