Greetings friends!
With a huge thanks to others who have done this before (Thank you Ron/Bligh at SailsofGlory.org), I’ve started creating my own Island coastline for Sails of Glory which I can also use for my Ocean battles in Wings of Glory!. It’s very exciting. My kids are impressed already!
I purchased the foam board this morning at Home Depot:
My first task was to outline the Island Coast. Just drew the coast with a Sharpie marker on the foam board, no sweat. Then I used a box cutter to gently and CAREFULLY cut through the foam board, one small cut at a time. It was actually a more difficult and time consuming task than I expected.
This was right before I broke the Island pieces from the rest of the board. It is cut in this photo, but still needs to be carefully cracked off the rest.....
Annnnnnd where I’m at as of this post! Ready to start sanding and sculpting for the coast to appear more “natural.”
You can see the size of the Island Coast compared to the Wings of Glory Allied planes. FUN TIMES ARE COMING!
More photos to come as I add grass and paint and beach next!!!!
