Always love the look of your tools Gary, that wood block looks like it could be 1:1! Nice job scrounging for stuff for the base...just don't get tempted late at night to pick stuff off it!  |

Like the little black dress Not that I'd like to see you in one if those, that would be a case of even less being far far far too much and not enough at the same time  |

Hiya Gary!!!! Nice weathering mate, I really love that fading, it looks great. And the woodgrain on the tools is amongst the most realist I have ever seen, if not the most realistic! Groundwork shapes up nicely too, always good to see a proper base to suit a great model Cheers |

Hey Gentlemen, John, Spud....NOT that kinda grass!  Thanks to all you guys for the wondeful comments! sure keeps me motivated. About the tufts. The grass is a mixture of static grass and scenic grass cut to length. as far as how i made them, here is a video of exactly how i make them. Ill warn ya...its an older women doin' it but its the same method nonetha less. But i do love to talk like her when i make my tufts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8b32zzFZCIAnother showing similar techniques on how to do larger areas where the grass stands on end due to the current. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVfi5RNyfecThe applicator im made from an electric fly swatter i got at harbor freight 2-3 years ago for $8.00 bucks. www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=electric+fly+swatterDANGIT...its half price now!
