I've been getting more and more into Dystopian Wars, and this weekend I built a naval wargaming table. I thought I'd post about it here - anyone else doing water/water-effect tables?

I did it as two 2' x 4' sections and finished it this weekend in less than a day.

Construction video and pictures here:

I used the technique shown by RubbishInRubbishOut on youtube.

All in all, I think it turned out really nicely! I look forward to the boards being 100% cured so I can move them around, put them side by side, try them out, etc.!

The glaze coat really ended up being a wonderful finishing touch. The most important part of the project, however, was the second "highlight" of pale blue waves, which just brought the entire project together.

This forum post brings dozens of hits to my blog everyday, somehow! So I don't want to disappoint anyone in case they can't find the video ;)

Can you crosspost this and a couple of pics of the finished board in the General Painting and Terrain subforum. People are always asking about doing water tables.

Looks great!
