Over the past few days, i have been putting together a display board for my army, for showing of at tournaments etc. I have also charted the creation so i can show you how it was made.
First a parts bit.
- Picture frame (mine was 20 x 14 inchs)
- PVA glue
- Basing materials
- Sand
- Polystyrene Blocks
- Clay
Once you have all of that together we can get started.
Firstly, take the back board, and the glass, out of the picture frame. The frame itself put away for later, and the glass can be thrown away. The back board, with a pencil, mark out your army on it, were you will want everything to sit once it is together.
After this bit has done, use some polystyrene blocks and build up the rear part of the display board. This provides a bit of height for your models so that they can be seen over the front models, as well as adding a little bit of definition to the board.
Make sure you test fit your models as you do this bit, i nearly had a situation were my own tanks wouldnt fit next to each other.
