8. The Toxic Pit

The Toxic Pit
:Simulating water or other fluids on a table top battlefield, admittedly can be tricky. Presented here is my Toxic Pit which utilises Epoxy Resin as the fluid. After hardening the results can be painted if you like, however for my toxic pit I've poured the resin mix over a green piece of cardboard - offcuts of all colours and textures which can be obtained cheaply at most craft shops. The translucency of the Epoxy resin allows the green to show through. The cheaper epoxy resins I've found to be the best as they tend to have a little more transparency, however some can take a day to set!
After making the "fluid" I then cut out a shape in a piece of cork and fitted it over the shape of the fluid giving the impression of a small bank (The thickness of the cork).Then by coating the cork in pva glue, I sprinkled on some modelling sand to finish things off.
: Below are the results, I've set up a diorama where my Pteravore Marro Hellhounds are drinking - "Toxic Pepper - what's the worst that can happen??"
