Using my Lord of the Rings models in a lot more "battlefield" wargames than their usual skirmish format, I'd decided to paint up my movement trays. As I'm usually fielding 12 or 20 in a unit, I got a little frustrated with having stragglers outside the "8 in a block" movement trays, so I decided to bosch a couple of the spare trays I had together!
Using the old razor saw for a fine cut, I wasn't too impressed when I made my various cuts, one tray down the middle and one end section of another ... then glued together with the polyC glue ...
As u can see, my lines are as straight as my walking after a few beers! But, no worries. The underbelly of the trays where filed slightly to allow a lot more contact for my ployC glue and a solid bond was made. I then used some old Evo-Stick on the underbelly to give a bit more strength and fill the holes for the final paint job.
Once the Evo had dried over night, I used GW's Scorched Brown as base & second coat to give a nice solid colour, then slapped on the old PVA on the raised areas with a sprinkling of grass flock to give a nice final finish ...
Can't beat the simple jobs in life! ... Walts
