Absolutely goo...Hey! <br /><br />I can ALWAYS use advice!:D<br /><br />Absolutely good advice... thank you! I plan to sand it down a bit before working with it... I just did it, so it was still a touch wet:) Interesting idea on the stippling... I may have to give that a try... I think I can still do it on this:)Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992613594254823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-58710791592672671482010-11-16T12:39:29.599-08:002010-11-16T12:39:29.599-08:00Looking good, but I hope you don't mind some t...Looking good, but I hope you don't mind some tips.<br /><br />I find that when building terrain around resin buildings you are better to go with a smooth finish - rather than the icing cake style (sorry couldn't think of the right term - please bear with me), then use a mix of uPVA glue, some (very) fine sand - (try sieving cement, it gives a very fine almost powder finish), water and flow improver (a tiny drop of washing-up liquid and paint it on with a stippling action.<br /><br />the finish is a little more subtle, but paints up well and if you need more texture add more sieved sand!<br /><br />I also add small stones or small broken slate or shale stones for a really rocky outcrop - you can also use broken cork (wine corks can work in this scale).<br /><br />Finally small bushes at the side of the buildings can be modelled with Milliput/Green Stuff, just stick a random blob on the side and texture with the pointy end of a cocktail stick, use a jabbing action, paint dark green and then drybrush leaf - green.<br /><br />I hope that this helps and that you do not mind me passing this on.<br /><br />Tony<br />http://dampfpanzerwagon.blogspot.com/Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167770417289351340noreply@blogger.com
