New Hedges

 As we only have a few hedges, about 18 or so in total from Greg's previous post some years back. We have done very little in actually bolstering the amount. This has always been a bit of an issue for laying out a table, as it severely limits us to how we lay out terrain and even how we play. Having been trying to get back into the hobby, I decided to expand on this.

Using the same techniques Greg used previously, I set out to achieve some similar results. The only issue this time round was the felt that was previously used was bought to cover the table's playing boards, which was some spare bits he used to make the hedges and road bits. I did manage to grab some Green felt from a local textile shop, however, it was not the same Green and was thinner in depth. To circumnavigate this, I had to glue two strips together to thicken out the base.

To make the hedges themselves, I used the scouring pads cut to size like previously mentioned in the older post. However, this time, I decided to give each one a paint over to brighten up the pieces. The issue with this was it matched the colour of the base felt.

To help the base stand out from the hedge, I decided to add flock to the base just by simply adding PVA glue to the base and sprinkling flock over each one. This was a little time consuming, especially since I went a little overboard and created 52 pieces total.. I have a few different lengths, some long, some medium and some short ones which are also a little lower in height, mostly just excess that I could use.

Overall I am happy with how they have turned out and I wish to apply the same techniques to our pre-existing ones to bring them more to life. Either way, we now have plenty more terrain to use for both aesthetic appeal and for cover.
