[JohnSimmons]

Look at you!! Awesome ;D

 

[wyoroy]

Spud, that looks great.

I have a question, how do you do the grass?

 

[spud]

Hey Roy, the Grass is easy to do. i just apply some pva sieve the grass on to it pat it down turn my base to knock off the loose and then repeat the process several times, once im happy i blow it and the grass stands, i also paint the area green, once that is done i spray pigments over it to take the brightness out of the green.

Hope that helps

Thanks John

 

[wyoroy]

Thanks Spud. Every bit of information adds to the whole. Now I just need to finish my Panther and work on the base.

 

[spud]

this base was easy as it was already made and all i had to use was my imagination and and remember what things around be me look like

 

[spud]

here is a few teaser pics before i figure out how ill fix the dame thing to the base






Storage is tied down now, And i think the Stug is done Just the figs now

Looks great. If you have any other barrels laying around perhaps doing a dio with some Pz. I & II in France. The crews could be sharing a barrel of beer ;D
