From the Front Line: The Hills are complete

I forgot to post the photos of the completed hills and rocks.

A slightly blurry rock. After painting, the base was painted brown, drybrushed lighter brown and then flocked.



A slightly blurry hill, too. Apologies, but I didn't realise they were blurred until too late. The base and top of the hills were finished in the same was as the rock. A few places were flocked, were grass may be growing.



Finally, the full ensemble along with the Imperial Guard.



The four hill sections can be placed along the table edges, or placed back-to-back (as in the centre). One of the finished rock columns can be seen on the left, as well.

And, as planned, all four hill sections fit into an A4 paper supply box for convenient storage!

Oh, and to follow on from my cat litter comment on the board, this was used around the foot of the hills, where the weathering would wash rocks and debris.
A layer of PVA (white wood glue) was painted on, and a few larger chips sprinkled on (Ikea decorative sand - similar size to the cat litter). Then, I poured on larger sand, from a fish supply store (again, decorative sand). This was tipped off, leaving a covering on the glue. Finally, I poured on fine sand which falls in between the existing sand. This was tipped off, then the whole lot left to dry overnight.

The texture was then painted over brown, then drybrushed with a tan brown, then finally a light drybrush of 'bleached bone' to just pick out the top of the rocks.
