Building a 45 Foot table from scratch Part 5

The final part of the terrain building project. This stage took us to the completion of the boards and many of the hills and other features.  These shots were taken about a week or so before the invited guests arrived in June 2010.

Tim on dry-brushing duty.

Each of the tiles had two layers of dry-brushing added.

How the dry-brushing transforms the colour of the boards.

Laying some of the buildings to get a idea of the scale.

Meanwhile, I was cutting out hills and features. 

Lots of them, these are at the PVA, sand and gravel stage.
