This phase was the most interesting part of constructing the board: bringing the closer almost to finish and flocking the board. After seeing the board go through phases of stark foam to browns, this was the first part where we finally began to see how the finished board would look with it's full greys, tans, and greens.
The stone path and keep interior were the last and most detailed parts of the board to paint. Gaudy greens and greys were used on the base layers and later highlighted with bright tans and cream colors.
We used a few different kinds of shrubbery in the flocking process. In the more open areas we used a brighter green with a darker green peppered in to break up the color and rest in receded or shadowed spots. Small bushes and trees were then fixed into place. Once the flock was dry we finally set in the docks by cutting down balsa wood and gluing the boards into place.
There's only one phase of construction left and it's incredibly tempting to play on it as is. The edge of the board needs another coat of black, there's some more work to do on the castle walls and building rooftops, and the water needs some effects to bring it together but for the most part it's almost done!
