| POLL DESCRIPTION | |
In an article for the Charge! newsletter, Doug Kline explains what he calls Terrain Blending: Blending is a process I use to hide (trick the eye) all lines created by terrain boards, terrain pieces and other terrain items. Normally, when you add terrain pieces to a table top, you can notice the point where it starts and stops, and distinct lines where it meets the table. To hide these lines (actually it just blurs the lines), I use a premixed flocking mix consisting of coarse and fine flocking. I prefer a burnt green color with other stuff mixed in. 
He goes on to explain that he even uses the flocking mix to break up open areas and make them more meadow-like, and outlines techniques for "reclaiming" the flock for future terrain use. Do you use Terrain Blending? |
