I still have my Spencer Smith, thin and lanky figures, although no table big enough for them any more.<br />I have searched through your posts but can't find anything on how you did the table base terrain. It looks like towel or furry cloth, did you ever do a post on it's manufacture, I've tried towelling in the past but it wasn't very satisfactory, so just wondered how you did yours.<br />CheersVagabondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031648950206231742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021096045371174446.post-57935471241312451372018-09-21T00:27:50.316-07:002018-09-21T00:27:50.316-07:00More than we need, more than we can paint, more th...More than we need, more than we can paint, more than we can fit on our tables, more projects/periods we don’t need ‘‘tis the joy of the hobby.
