This weekend I managed to add a SECOND and THIRD RESIN POURS to the two 2’x2′ Logar River terrain boards, both of which were tinted with color, and the ladst of which I “agitated” in hopes of getting some “River Current” action when the resin finally set. I’d say I was partially successful on that front, getting a touch of “current”, though not as much as I’d have liked. I still have one more shot at it though, and I’m pretty happy with how the color tint turned out, so it definitlely could have been worse!
I was hoping to do a similar THIRD POUR on the 6’x2′ Kabul River board, which so far only got its second round of resin, later tonight. I have another busy work week starting tomorrow and don’t want to fall behind with two of my river sections a step ahead of the third one — but after thinking more about it I realized I’d have to stay up until 4:00 or 5:00am, in order to “agitate” the curing resin, which would impact work tomorrow, so unfortunately it will have to wait until tomorrow night at the earliest. I also did a second resin pour on the Khairabad Swamp board, which I left untinted. I do plan to tint the third and — if it needs it — fourth pours for the swamp, though I may leave its surface perfectly flat and unagitated to resemble “still” water… or possibly try to give it just a hint of movement in the more open areas.
In the weeks ahead I plan to get around to doing a thorough “How To” Resin River post with tons of step-by-step WIP pics, but for now I’ll just post a handful of shots showing how it turned out…
