Collins builds the world of The Walking Dead
The grass is greener on the other side
So the plan here is to do the following.
- lay down (paint on) PVA
- sprinkle on (at least) two types of flock
- spray ISO
- Pipette on heavily watered down PVA
- leave to dry.
pretty simple really. in reality you need to work in sections and always paint a wider area than you plan to flock until the whole area is done. That way you wont get any horrible tide marks in your flockwork.
the reason for using at least two types of flock is simply for variety. if you look in your garden, you’ll see its not just grass, there are weeds, random growth and moss too. it’ll help it look natural and realish and thus be a more easy to believe lawn. I’ll put bigger clumps down to simulate a lawn that has not been mown recently (after all, the world ended and nobody cuts the grass when they’re dead… they usually just prop up the daisies)
small areas are easy to do in one go
Disaster! (not really) the ISO made the permanent marker run
and made the paint bubble... i shall ignore it for now
see! the tides can be dangerous and look naff
dont flood the area, pipette PVA on and let the ISO and capillary action do their thing to spread it out
now the whole area is done, simply leave for a good few hours to dry out.
when it is dried you can see the effect is quite good, if a little clean.the ISO was a bit of a knobber on this one. not only did it affect one of the houses (i took steps to protect the other ones when i noticed it) but it also played around with the weathering on the road.
ARGH! not much that i can or will do about it though, i’ll just have to leave it as is and suck it up.
doesn’t the grass look nice though
great inspiration mate
Thanks, I’m pleased with how it is coming along. Lets wait to see how my wallpapering skills are though, that could ruin everything 😐
