Greetings friends!


With a huge thanks to others who have done this before (Thank you Bligh!), I’ve started creating my own Island coastline for Sails of Glory. It’s very exciting. My kids are impressed already!


I purchased the foam board this morning at Hobby Lobby:

My first task was to outline the Island Coast. Just drew the coast with a Sharpie marker on the foam board, no sweat. Then I used a box cutter to gently and CAREFULLY cut through the foam board, one small cut at a time. It was actually a more difficult and time consuming task than expected.

This was right before I broke the Island pieces from the rest of the board. It is cut in this photo, but still needs to be carefully cracked off the rest.....

Annnnnnd where I’m at as of this post! Ready to start sanding and sculpting for the coast to appear more “natural.”

I can’t thank you all enough for the advice, especially Bligh for the amazing “How To” thread! More to come!
