The owner of Misty mountain has committed to donating the
materials for two 4x6 foot terrain boards. On Saturday March 22 from 10-6 we need volunteers to come help put it all together.

In talking about the project we want to create something that we can use on a regular basis scaled for 15mm. One board is going to have a beach edge of around 5-12 inches so we can do beach assaults and river crossings. With small hills, couple roads and nothing too extreme.

Materiel List For Saturday

  1. Get a foam cutter from Michael's ($5). It is a battery powered wire that cuts the foam slick as slicing butter with a hot knife.
  2. For beach/river bank/road sand get playground sand then paint it with.
  3. Cheap Sand Colored acyclic house paint about ½ gallon and
  4. cheap wide foam painters. You mix the sand and paint and paint on the beaches using wide foam painters.
  5. Scenery Grass
  6. Elmers wood Glue (this is better then white glue)
  7. Hot glue gun (for scattered bushes)
  8. Small bushes
  9. Blowtorch to make creeks

All these are available from a hardware store.
