Adding Water to the Table


I had a feeling after seeing the leaf texture go on over the grass that the marsh area was going to look really good. The missing ingredient was water. For this table I am using clear resin with a little bit of Secret Weapon Miniatures Green Earth weathering powder. I love that color. I also love the way it tinted the first pour. In 72 hours I should be able to pour a second layer of resin, this time clear, over the murky water. I don't plan on adding a lot, just enough to trick the eyes/brain into perceiving more depth.


The important question now is whether I should add lily pads? I think that would amp the board up even more, but it might not be necessary.

  1. Add some juncus effusus. Everyone needs more juncus.

  3. Doesn't look like a game board, looks like an actual landscape. Incredible work.

  4. Really good work there man, but I would avoid the lilly pads. I think you'd be cluttering it.

  5. I appreciate the comments, I love making these tables. One of the unfortunate side effects of making these tables is that I don't want to use miniatures without matching bases. That may be taking it too far.

  6. I just want to dive in and get various diseases because you shouldn't just dive into random streams even though they look really inviting.
