Next, we lightly spray painted a few areas of the felt with a green-brown color where the woods and streams will be. Finally, we laid out the road network and painted on all the roads by hand. In all cases, a copy of the 1868 Warren map was kept nearby for reference. Return here next week for our final construction update before the big game!
There are two weeks left until we film our Gettysburg wargame event. With all the ground sculpting complete, it's now time for the major transformation! First, we spread a floor adhesive onto the polystrene boards and carefully draped a sheet of olive green felt over-top. The felt was gently smoothed out to avoid wrinkles and left to dry for two days. Next, we lightly spray painted a few areas of the felt with a green-brown color where the woods and streams will be. Finally, we laid out the road network and painted on all the roads by hand. In all cases, a copy of the 1868 Warren map was kept nearby for reference. Return here next week for our final construction update before the big game!

The felt was ordered from Fabric.com and all the details for the exact felt we used can be found in the video description link for the tutorial. I think the color was Rainbow Olive? But check the video to be sure!
