TOPIC: 6mm dirt roads |
Standard User Posts: 41 zabarr 28th Jan 2018 04:58:33 I’m in the process of building my first 6mm table to go with my kickass baccus crusades dudes. Anyone have any recommendations for semi-arid/desert roads? Thanks in advance.

Yes, try Fat Frank's ebay store. He currently has flexible 6mm/10mm desert roads for a very reasonable price. www.stores.ebay.co.uk A little goes a long way |

Flatten it with your moistened finger then scuff up the surface with a suitable impliment (I used a frayed snapped end of a cocktail stick). You can scatter a bit of fine sand on it at this stage for some added texture. When it is dry you can peel it off the paper and drybrush it suitable colours. From a single tube you should be able to make more than enough roads.

Those roads look very good. A little goes a long way |
Yes they look very good ! Is it possible to see more from this terrain ?

Standard User Posts: 2 Battle Brush Sigur 14th Feb 2018 03:22:52 As fate would have it I also just made a bunch of roads (and in the same way as jon1066 did):
The process itself is very simple. Here's a simple tutorial: https://www.6mmacw.com/roads-and-rivers.html ...ooor of course just buy the fine roads sold on the Baccus website. :)
edit: yikes, this forum squeezes photos to fit. :D I added links to the regular-sized photos. |

Standard User Posts: 2 Battle Brush Sigur 15th Feb 2018 12:40:02 Thanks, my actual website of course is http://www.battlebrushstudios.com/ ;-) The setup is basically just a GW grass mat, caulk roads, felt fields, some single-based trees and more dense forests made from foliage, corrugated cardboard and toothpics.
Here's a full overview of the table without photoshop tricks: https://www.tabletopwelt.de/uploads/monthly_2018_02/noshoop.jpg.9eff18111f1136a50792af7816c93751.jpg
