After putting all the doors where they belong the length ends up at 28 feet, the width is 30 inches . like I said before, I will not be using styrofoam. I will be using Browncraft paper, the absolute closest thing you will find to a dirt look. I'll be working on one board at a time. 6 feet 8 inches of paper, roll it up in a ball so the creases are everywhere, spread white glue and water on the door and lay the paper down. This is how this battlefield starts. A couple shades of brown along with antique white will be added after the paper dries to the board.

Nice start on the project, Capt. Seems to be a sturdy foundation for a battlefield. You'll be using house paint for the paper terrain I suppose. Enjoy your self, Sir. I sure do enjoy watching the fruits of your creative labors.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay...I dont use house paint on any of this , what I use is Ceramcoat
