Hi All

Well Robs book put me straight on a few things and pointed me to something I had not done that was fill the seams well taking his advice from his book I slightly changed the way he done something . I recommend his Vallejo book I use it a lot now.
so what have I done .

well Rob uses Vallejo sandy paste because I did not have any I have tried my take on it so what did I do :-
Vallejo air 71.141 IDF sand mixed with ready mixed polly filler add a touch of water and did what Rob did, I used a peace of plastic to put the mix on then rubbed it off with a damp cloth.
So tomorrow I start to add colour to the building

Glad the book was of help to you. There are many ways to create various effects, just a matter of experimenting and finding what works best for you, and to achieve the results you are after.
Brick work is looking great, and love the layout of the dio.

Rob

Hi All

Tiny update base painted black , base shape added DISASTER after applying the paint the plastic base lifted off , so got to get some more glue, and rustic and repaint the black part again of the base then start again .
anyway made some bracken for my model .

Hi Everyone

So now the model jumps in big steps
So base painted initially but had to scrap SOME paint off to glue the house on with EVO stick glue.

The paper ivy was added using Kamizukuri diorama accessories which are laser cut and so much detail .

So I glued the rough area where the raised over grown area will be,

So tonight I will fix the body to the supporting logs it will sit .
Nest will be to touch up the sides and back of the building with Tamiya Black paint
Then I will add the the base surface to the rough area of the diorama using DAS Clay. And also add some texture around the base of the building with poly filler .
So until next time I hope the you all like the little update.

Ossie

[Leon]

Getting close now Ossie! Looking forward to seeing the ground cover.

[ossie262]

Leon

the DAS clay added to the base where the soil will be .
Just allow that to dry then paint it and then add all the vegetation

[ossie262]

Gents

I have been busy making plants so fiddly so here is the first one it is a Budliea I have a few more to do but its a peace of dried seed grass then leaves glued on and the flowers dipped in fluff then painted .
so here is the first one a few more to go yet.
