Ultimately I went the DIY route and purchased a 4-1/4ft by 6ft piece of black vinyl. I then had one of my friends help me paint it via the toothbrush splatter method. I then used red, blue and white spray paints to create a couple nebulas and whatnot. After everything had dried I touched the mat up here and there.
Now on to the pics of the mat by itself and then with some ships and other stuff on it.

The mat looks great. Looking forward to seeing some battles on it.
ReplyDeleteMaking good progress, I think!
ReplyDeleteThose space mines look vaguely familiar :-) .
Hugh- I couldn't remember where I had seen those beads I used for the mines/escape pods initially, was thinking they were from Desert Scribes blog but when I went back and looked the beads he used were a different style. The Mine Clusters and the Escape pods are small beads where as the single mines are larger beads, the larger mine also uses a nail with a plastic cap (bought the nails with the caps bulk at the local hardware store, 1/4 lb for $1US). I am also basing some escape pods in clusters of three pods.
