Corunna bathtubbed – progress

Since this morning’s post the required spray paints have arrived. Hills have been varnished, then sprayed green and brown and re-varnished. Stream tiles were sprayed green, varnished and then thickly applied with a mix of blues and greys from tester pots using an old kids’ craft painting brush, then revarnished.

With the new hills and streams in place I am almost there. Grid lines need to be drawn on the new tiles, the sea/river section must be painted, a bridge made and trees sought from the Toy Cupboard or the loft (or made from scratch if not found)*.

* Trees are made by making small woollen pompoms in the traditional manner, then attaching them to thin dowel rods on a circular MDF base. They are then based in pairs. Two bases (four trees) are impenetrable, one base (two trees) is passable by infantry or light cavalry.
