Battleboard project

I've wanted my own battleboard for a long time and after looking at all the options I had within my budget (flocking a board, buying one outright, using felt, using carpet etc...) I opted for 3 2x4' boards with a sampler pot of texture paint I then spraypainted in several layers of different $2 car spray paint hues.

I started by painting the textured paint onto the a single board with a roller.




They were then left to dry and spraypainted in about 7 shades of different greens, reds, yellows and browns VERY lightly in irregular patches building up from the brownish textured paint


Pretty happy with first one I went ahead and did the others!


Here's Dave investigating devious tactics to win our next game, perhaps?




The finished product



Lastly I used what remained of the textured paint to put together a batch of hills






 


All in all happy with the result of a day's work (inc. drying times)

    You're off to a great start. I like using using 2x4 boards best. I've tried 1x1, 2x2 and 2x4. 2x4 is just less trouble. I like the way the texture came out on these also.
