River and the Buckleberry Ferry

Before they can get to the Barrow Downs the hobbits must cross the river via the Buckleberry Ferry.

 The river as specified by the scenarios is pretty wide at 6" across. I cut the MDF for this years ago but only just got round to turning it in to waterway.



It's not as blue as these pictures look - but it is quite blue, which is fine for my Fantasy games I reckon. Emulsion tester pots for the colours, then yacht varnish for the shiny

Individual bits (12"x 8") look like this.


I didn't bother building the banks up as the book suggested - I decided on a lower profile and just sanded and flocked the banks.

The scenario also requires a ferry and a jetty - which I knocked up quickly out of balsa wood




Job done and reasonably pleased with the outcome.
