I've failed to paint anything this weekend so I will take a moment tell you my readers of a tale terrain misfortunes. You may have notice my new title picture for the blog that is a picture of my 4'x4' Mountain Valley Table. (pictured above) I have always wanted to make a 4'x4' table to play LOTR on so when a local store was hosting a convention I deiced this was the moment for me to build my table. I had cut the 4 2'x2' tiles long ago to make a Plains of Rohan table, but at the last minute I felt that just wasn't exciting enough so I opted for a Mountain Valley on the edge of the Misty Mountains. Now so far this all sounds great but this was a spur of the moment thing I had 6 weeks to complete the table from start to finish. I was literally adding the final layers of flock the night before.
So what's the problem you might ask it looks beautiful and it really does in person, I used several different shades of green flock to give it a natural appearance. In my mad rush to build it at night after work I failed to continually check the fitting of the tiles edges the North/South edges I seemed to have check regularly but when I fitted everything together the night before transporting it I discovered that the East/West edges don't fit together!
This I suspect was partly do to the fact that I am an apartment dweller without a table large enough to fit all of it together all at once. From the pictures below you can see how this project took over the tiny living room of my 1 bedroom apartment.
Well this more of a ramble than an article but since this is a blog of my LOTR endeavors I guess that's ok.
