I wanted a few new terrain pieces for the game table.  The door matt field is a classic, but it needed to be jazzed up a little.  A plastic card base was added to the matt, mud applied to the sides to blend the rubber base into the field (hot glue failed on the plastic card – weld bond succeeded).  Dark green and light green clump foliage attached with hot glue and gaps covered with static grass.  The ruin items might be a bit of an anachronism, but it does help set the mood.  Full pillars made from Hirst Arts plaster casts, fractured columns a 3D print picked up at Adepticon a few years ago.    1/8 inch MDF base with the same mud texture and finished with static grass.  Columns painted with Country Tan (craft paint) + Country Tan/White highlight.  The mud worked much better on the MDF, the  plastic card flexed causing the mud to crack.

Mud:  Acrylic caulk, brown house paint, sand, tile Grout and rubbing alcohol.

Recipe taken from Eric’s Hobby Workshop at the 8 minute mark.  The batch I made started to setup in the bowl, I suggest mixing small batches and use it quickly.
