I can identify...somewhere out there are hordes of Thingies I've done that will forever remain unphotographed. The better you get as a painter/modeler the more unlikely it becomes that you will get to keep what you paint/make, but after awhile the creating becomes more important than the keeping. Suspect
At any rate, that is a BEAUTIFULLY DONE gaming board...whoever wound up with it must be delighted. What a Face

You got that right Deaf. Nearly everything I work on nowadys is for someone else or when Im done someone says Ill give $$$ (which is either a good offer that the money grubbing capitalist in me cant so no too or is so off base the reply is WTF! are you high Very Happy ) My hobby time is seriously limited due to work and real world obligations but I have been pretty good about making an hour or two each day for hobby related stuff for the last month or so. Even if its not productive I make myself attempt to do something.

I usually make Terrain Boards in the summer when the weather is good as its easier to do alot of it outside. If I make one this year and there is interest Ill make a thread and do walk thrus and tutorials as I go.

Dread, I think everyone has made the standard offers - hand paint or wash with glue. Good luck with this - it'd be great to see the end product.

Very nice work Doom, might have to pick your brains at some point. Hopefully you'll be able to provide the community with some expertise.

That would be superb - I want to make a board for my shed this Summer (It'll never happen though, with another little one appearing next month).

Cheers Laney Very Happy

Krylon H2O is a latex based spray paint that does not melt foam. I usually find the stuff at Hobby Lobby or other craft stores. I like to buy the cans that go on clearance (usually purples or other less used colors unfortunately) and use it to quickly seal foam projects and then use other sprays over it when it dries.

i sometimes paint larger style styrofoam with watered down PVA (wood glue) which can help smooth a little plus stops spray propellant from melting it, sand textured masonry paint is also good as it is lates based + the sand texturing hide larger polystyrene bubbling.

Hope this helps Smile
