The Scavengers get caught out in the open (again). It’s already looking bad for Liam, but he’s meeting the threat with his usual poise and grace

So the board is a simple piece of thin blue foam (mounted on foamboard for a little stability, but still light). Then I textured it to look somewhat similar to the real mat. Using various grades of sandpaper I edged the road, then went at it with a heavy scriber to add in cracks and damage. Finally my old staple of a rolled up piece of tin foil gave the whole thing texture. I even gouged the foam in places with the tin foil to make the road look a little more broken.

Next for strength, to keep the edges tidy and in one piece, I used tape around the edge. I was going to use gaffer tape, but the gorilla tape was cheaper. Wish I’d stuck with gaffer though, actually getting the tape off the roll was a pain. Hopefully that means it’ll keep the edges safe for a long time!

Finally for this update, here’s a group shot of the collection of barricades. Six of them to replace the standard card ones in the box, plus a couple of fences (made from plasterboard joining tape, cheers to the guy on leadadventure for the tip) for a little scatter terrain.

I’ve already started the painting, as soon as I have them all drybrushed I’ll get some pics before flocking the grass.
