Hey Guys!!

Back at it somewhat! ;D

I took my XPS Foam base and coated it with a nice mix of fine sand, glue and water. After this dried, I mixed a bit of plaster and some Mig Pigment to make some earth, blending the little country hill.



A little dry fit...



I coated the exterior around the new base black tonight. Also cleaned up some rocks for the wall and made some preparations for my order of Silflor... MONDAY!!! ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for hanging around!!

 

[Eastrock]

[TRM]

Thanks ER!! Can't wait to get to work tomorrow...Silflor veggies will be on my desk waiting !!! ;D ;D ;D

 

[Eastrock]

wow looking forward with the vegetation, T!!! ;D

right now I'm thinking if I'll start the Hasegawa Advan Corolla Levin, just bought it about $6.. decals almost yellowed, printed in 1992 ;D

 

[TRM]

I would have a go!! Not sure if they have replacement decs for that?? You can make a nice wreck too!! :

 

[Eastrock]

Maybe I'll Just do a weathered look or a drifting styled car... its almost a 20 yr old kit ;D

I also had the Hasegawa 1/72 MiG 27, much older

 

[TRM]

Pick one..I'll watch along!! Old kits work nicely some times! They turn out pretty sweet and it doesn't hit you in the wallet!!! The looks all come from the paint and weathering!! ;D

[TRM]

Thanks Spud!!! Getting there...couple more days!!! ;D

A little more today...



Rocks... ;D



Base veggies, 1/8" green flock...



Attached the flock with white PVA thinned with water. After sprinkling out of a spice container, it stands up nicely. I gave some small light blasts with canned air to push the flock grass into different directions and to clean out the area where the tank will sit and to make some patchy areas!

Tall grass and flowery stuff soon....

Thanks for having a peek!!!
