Is this an all new table you've built STEAM ?

es) i have made pictures with a new camera and aim waiting them to arive)

What size is that? It looks a bit small? Or is it one of many parts?

Want some tips to spice it up a bit (but you'll have to put more effort into it though!)?

1. First make a good batch of PVA glue and add water to that. You wanna make it the consistency of runny yoghurt (yuck!). Take a big brush, and paint that goo all over really good. While it is still wet, pour over a big bucket of fine sand over it all. Wait a minute, then tilt the board to make all excess sand fall off (it's good to do this above some newspapers or something similar). Let the board dry for a few hours, then make another batch of runny yoghurt...erm...PVA glue, but make it even runnier, by adding more water. Now dip/ brush/ flow that ONTO the dried sand, but make sure that you do not brush aside the sand (it may still come a bit loose if done too rough). This second layer of PVA is to lay a coat on top of your sand, to protect it from coming loose, damage etc. Be generous with this layer. Let this dry for a full day, then take a big drybrush, and drybrush (duh!) the sand in the color you want.

2. My advice on use of color: for actually ALL ground areas, either use dirt brown colors (Base black, brush Dark Flesh, then Snakebite Leather with a bit Bleached Bone, then pure Bleached Bone), or gray stone colors (Base black, drybrush with Fenris Grey, then Adeptus Battlegrey with a bit Fortress Grey, then Pure Foortress Grey, then pure White (very light drybrush!!!)). If you want grassy areas, drybrush in dirt colors, then glue on static grass.

3. For rivers, you can do two things: either paint the whole thing in the color you want the river to be; or you could go for something a bit more realistic: paint the sanded beddig in a dirt color. Somewhere between the dirt brown and the stone grey would be cool. After that is done, pour in layers of clear resin (toxic stuff, use with care! Read instructions carefully). Some types of resin can even be colored a bit with special dyes, to make a more blue river, grey muddy river, putrid green river, etc, etc. I'd suggest you read on it before trying it out. Just browse the net for articles on this!
