Seascape wargames table

6x4 wargames tables are all well and good in plain MDF for desert operations, but that's a theatre we rarely play. We have some nice TSS system scenic tiles for general use, so it made sense to have the sea as a base.
I used a sponge (straight from the kitchen) to sponge on 3 shades of emulsion tester, starting with the dark teal. After the palest shade, I used the dark colour to tidy up the wave crests and fill any unprinted gaps.
Once this was all dry, a light spray of black and another of green (and I'm talking very light here) picked out some of the sea and darkened down the whole board. Spray gloss varnish added some sparkle and should prevent wear.
