Egilman Posted January 19 #391 Posted January 19 I would suggest streaked/blotchy green/grey for the grass and tan for the dirt/rocky pathways.... (green-grey would probably be even better) Like the rocks, you don't want uniform.... If the mediums come out a bit stark, you can always tone them down, but you can't brighten them up if they are muted... Here is where the water based acrylics shine in application... (cause you can use a simple spray bottle for application) The rocky cliff faces look spot on.... This is going to be spectacular....

OC. Thank you very much OC. I was a bit nervous about the quantity of cliffs that needed to be worked but I'm really pleased with the result. Using Sculptamold as the material to glue all the cast cliffs into place worked much better than using straight plaster. I think I will need some bare patches amongst the grass. I'm thinking some of the Mig saand effect might be worth trying. It can be buried under the grass if it doesn't work. Alan Canute, Egilman, robert952 and 2 others 5 Quote

king derelict Posted January 21 Author #397 Posted January 21 I experimented with basic background colours for the grass areas. These will be predominantly covered in dry grass with greener shades where there is more shade or water. I decided on a green grey mix for the base and added some dry grass to assess the effect I think that is going to work so I painted in all the grass areas. Its dried a bit greener than I expected but from a distance it looks quite good without going further. At least its an indication of what the finished model may look like I added a few more rocks and found that I had forgotten the cliffs at the back corner so they were built up and painted. Trees and bushes get added to the back side so I kept the lower cliffs fairly simple. Ready to add grass I think Thanks for looking in, all the comments and helpful tips and likes Alan Canute, Old Collingwood, realworkingsailor and 11 others 12 2 Quote

king derelict Posted January 23 Author #400 Posted January 23 After experimenting off the model I started with the grass. I used a bottle of Woodland Scenics scenic cement for the work so far. It dries matte and can be sprayed or painted. Working on a small area at a time I painted on a coat of it and then started adding grass. I found I didn't like the shaker bottle to dispense the grass. I was getting too much and over too large an area. What seems to work for me is taking an amount of the grass from the bottle on an appropriate artists palette knife and then adding it to the model by tapping the edge of the palette knife. That gave me far more control of how much and where I was placing the stuff. I started with WS fine yellow turf and when I was happy with what I had applied I gave it a sprayed coat of the WS scenic cement. Then I added WS fine blended turf using the palette knives again. They were great for getting the grass under the walls where it might be wetter and shadier. This shows the yellow and blended turf in the foreground and the yellow only further back\ The same treatment was given to the next section I have some WS light green coarse turf which will be the next layer. I think that will break up the texture a bit and also take some of the starkness out of the blended turf. Its a bit dark for my liking. I'm learning as I go here but so far its taking shape. Then bushes and trees and some gravelly areas I think I will run out of the WS glue before finishing so I will be switching to diluted white glue although I have also read that diluted matte medium works well too so I may try that both need a few drops of dish soap to aid dispersal. Thank you all for looking in, for the comments and likes. Alan Old Collingwood, Canute, robert952 and 9 others 9 3 Quote
realworkingsailor Posted January 23 #401 Posted January 23 What you may wish to consider, is before adding your top fixative, spray a mist of water mixed with isopropyl alcohol to wet the surface of the WS ground foam. This will help the glue (or acrylic medium) to wick into the foam. Otherwise you run the risk of having the ground foam forming a hard shell, top and bottom, with an unglued middle. Long term this will be prone to cracking. Wetting the ground foam also has the added benefits of keeping it in place when you drizzle on the top coat of glue, as well as helping the glue cover a greater surface area (meaning you’ll need less glue). Otherwise, it’s looking very good! Andy Canute, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy

You are right about the price of plexiglass Craig. I don't trust myself to cut sheets of plexiglass accurately so I get them precut from TAP Plastics (a great resource and very efficient). I went to their website last night to check the price of a set of 3/16 sheets to build a case - $120 roughly! I'm going to do it though. Although my cats are pretty good I have invested too much time in this one to be happy about coming home to find someone has pulled all the foliage off the model. It seems that there are lot of people who can't look at something without using their fingers. Finding a place to display it is going to be interesting. I wandered around with the tape measure earlier and found that the two candidate spots are actually too small. I've seen photos showing display cases built into a thrift store coffee table which is interesting but my woodworing skills are horrible so I'm not sure I can pull that off..

king derelict Posted January 23 Author #416 Posted January 23 I added some of the Woodland Scenics coarse turf and found it difficult to work with. It doesn't seem to shake out onto the model. It seems to need to be sprinkled between fingers and then there is a tendency to ball up. I wonder if it works better on larger scale models. For me it looks like small bushes rather than coarse turf. So I was happy enough with teh small amount that got added but I decided not to use any more and moved onto WS bushes and briars to build up the vegetation on the cliffs and rocks. Its quite fun to do this but I am nervous about overdoing it. This looks about right looking at photos of the real thing. To add the bushes I used full strength white glue and then a coat of the scenic glue once everything was in place The rocks at extreme left look a bit stark so they may get worked over. I moved off the model and started working on trees. The first ten have been made from WS pine armatures and initially dark green foliage clumps but I found them hard to work with to get a conifer shape so I moved onto conifer green fine leaf foliage. Its a bit unpredictable but there are some nice effects and its possible to get bare branches in amongst the foliage. The stands are temporary bases while the glue dries. They will be added to the base by punching a hole into the foam blocks. These will get a coat to scenic glue and then I'll start building up that side of the model Thanks for looking in, all the great comments and help.

realworkingsailor Posted January 24 #417 Posted January 24 Really looking great! Your experience with the WS coarse turf is typical, not much you could have done differently, larger scale or otherwise. Not sure why they insist on selling it in shaker bottles, I guess it stores better on a shelf! You’re working at a scale where it best represents scrubby bushes, so placing down one small clump at a time is very effective. Model scenery is, at best, an illusion meant to fool the eye when viewed from a typical distance. Keep up the great work!

This is a whole new world of products and some of the WS foliage and grass variants were a bit of a wrestle to get looking right. I'm pretty much staying with the fine turf, bushes, briars and fine leaf foliage with some foliage clumps and coarse turf acting as low scrub and small bushes.
