I took some pics of the finished board!







I'm quite pleased with how the river turned out. The white parts are the deepest and are still curing, but its rock solid and drying clear.

And here is a pic of the next board project, a desert river bed. One friend suggested desert terrain to go with his skeleton army and this could also be used for ww2 North Africa games.

Great water effect, feels like you could dive into that river

[BeardedHammer]

Thank you! It didn't come out perfectly level like I had originally planned, but it gives the illusion that the water is flowing over the uneven river bed.

Just out of curiosity, would anybody be interested if I did commission boards?

Really nice board, well done it looks brilliant.

Cracking work 

[barbarian]

I may be a bit late, but maybe give a brownish/greenish tint to the river to simulate deepness ?

Then another coat of gloss varnish ?

Nice work, BH !
Cheers - Phil.

Good work fella!

Cracking

Don't know about the pre-made boards - you'd be competing with people like TSS who can do decent terrain tile stuff very cheaply, or Battleboards who do amazing stuff (but ain't cheap, I gather). There might well be a good niche between them

[BeardedHammer]

Thanks guys!  And yes barbarian, a bit late. I had actually planned on doing that and forgot 

And if I made tables to sell it would be "per request" I wouldn't want to go full business with it. I've learned that it's not a good idea to make a hobby into a job.
