Later this month I'm taking part in a Chain of Command Pint Size Campaign at the Falkirk District Wargames Club. This one being Operation Martlet set in Normandy. One of the many great things about the pint sized campaigns, besides costing about the price of a pint of beer, is that they have the scenarios layouts set out in them.
In scenario 1 the layout calls for a large area of ploughed fields, about 3'x1' to be placed along one side of the table.
To that end I've tried making three roughly one foot square ploughed fields following a Terrain Tutor video on YouTube which suggests using filler. I had a tub of filler that covered two of the three boards I had. Being a somewhat impatient chump I decided to use a tube of flexible filler that I had to cover the third. That was two days ago. I took them out tonight to paint them only to find the board with the flexible filler hadn't set . Damn! I'll have to scrape it off and try again tomorrow with standard filler.
