Post by: Sendak on July 04, 2008, 08:20:06 PM: Nice crisp job!

What sorta glue did you use on the 'foam' for the church?

Details are really cool.

Thanks and good going on completions.
Title: Re: Spanish Village WIP
Post by: Lt. Hazel on July 04, 2008, 08:43:10 PM: Thanks!
Sendak, I use a hot-glue gun. But take care, if the glue is too hot it melts the foam away o_o

Post by: The_Wisecrack on September 14, 2008, 12:51:41 PM: :o :o :o :o :o :ook now i need a tutorial of some kind and i second arcticmans question: what is the ornage stuff you used to create the doors and windows on the church. TUTORIAL. (and templates :D ;))
Title: Re: Spanish Village WIP(update)
Post by: Lt. Hazel on September 14, 2008, 09:30:30 PM: The orange stuff is air-drying-clay. Very cheap and works fine. I used this tutorial http://www.croebern-1813.de/40235.html . It´s in german, but if you scroll down you see the steps. You need cardboard (paper or plastic) or styrodur to build the basic structure. Then cover it with double-sided tape. Roll the clay flat and press it on the basic structure. Cut out doors and windows and modell some "extras" like fragile finery. For the doors and other woodwork I use woodsticks from McD.
Glue the house on a plastic-card base.

Me too ;)
Title: Re: Spanish Village WIP(update)
Post by: Rhoderic on September 14, 2008, 10:20:52 PM: Nice job! I've tried doing similar stuff with clay (packed earth floors out of DAS Pronto to be precise) but found it too hard to work with. It took a bit too much force to press as flat as I wanted it (which risked making the underlying material buckle) and once it had dried, I found it had shrunk enough to need retouching around the edges. That crackling effect is very cool though. I might just reconsider this modelling material again.

Yes. It´s an XPS polystyrene foam commonly called like that here in Germany (probably a brand name like "Styropor" for EPS).

Too bad you cannot build games tables out of beautiful women and excellent language skills, eh? ;)

Frustrating, actually.... It took me several months to track down foam board (have to drive 100 km to get it), washers are not available in less than 30 mm, game shops only carry GW, Privateer, various RPGs, and LARP-equipment, and that insulation foam that is useable for terrain is not legal...

Oh, and yes, pet shops do not sell plastic aquarium plants, and their supply of aquarium deco is very limited.

Sorry 'bout the ranting - does anyone know of job opportunities in Britain or Germany (our plant here in Svendborg is being closed, and we have all been sacked.. I have 4 months notice)? ::)

Oh and Argonor and dodge, maybe some Canadian pet sites could help. I've easily found more variety in plastic plants right in town then I'd ever need in more than one life. Dried plant pods(and other parts of flowers and such) work great for flora as well. Sorry to hear about your job :(. Good luck with finding a future job, my friend.

Title: Re: Spanish Village WIP(update)
Post by: The_Wisecrack on October 14, 2008, 06:30:31 PM: i have now used this technique and can say it isn't as easy as it sounds, you have to first apply the double sided tape (which is an absolute ass of a task) then you have to rip of small bits of clay and lay it on the tape, pushing it around to cover the area, before adding any brick work + stippling with a scouring pad to create a weathered affect.
here are some pictures. (excuse the fingerprints they practically disappear once painted anyhow)

Post by: Lt. Hazel on October 14, 2008, 09:24:29 PM: Your house looks great man!
The technique isn´t that simple, but it will be easier with some experience. Cut bigger pieces of clay, and roll them flat with a round woodstick. While pressing the clay on the tape keep your fingers wet. And I now have a kind of foamcard called "KAPPA fix" which already has tape on both sides.
By the way: In my experience the best things in life are not easy to get, but cheap ;)

Yes nice trees. I am looking for some cypresses myself and I have not yet found any decent ones. These look nice, what are their make???
[Only the colour is rather light for cypresses. In my country cypress colour is much more dark]

They are darker in real life, but I know cypress-trees are very dark green in Greece..I think the spanish ones are lighter lol

Of course!! Why haven't I thought of that.... ::)

Model trees can be shaped anyway you like, given the right tools and a little care... 8)

I´ll build a olive-tree plantage ( ? ) on a hill. Some work to do, I hope the trees will look right, I can´t buy some so do my own. :D

Look forward to seeing the progress

Post by: Lt. Hazel on December 04, 2008, 08:32:52 PM: I had a picture of my olive grove in mind cause I spent my holidays in Corsica a few years ago and my tent was right under an olive-tree. Nice Island that Corsica is. But I googled pics of olive-trees.

Post by: jet on January 06, 2009, 02:08:42 AM: I just discovered this thread today. It's threads like this that make LAF the best geeking forum out there. I am so impressed that I don't know if I should go and paint until 2:00 am or collapse in bed, hopeless in my relative geek activity.

Great work. I aspire to such accomplishments o_o

Post by: Argonor on January 07, 2009, 03:06:46 PM: Did you use beach sand for the walls? I find it a most useful material for texturing (also the stuff you used, if it's not it ;) ).

Check the WW2 section. Just updated my "No Pasarán" thread (after more than a year, good Lord!) with pics, but I remain overawed by the sheer spectacle of your terrain-building prowess.

Hopefully there will be a free chair at the Tactica for your SCW T&T game.
I like the terrain very much and the tutorials look perfect.
The SCW is coming closer for me. Everybody is trying to tempt me.
I believe your scenery did the rest.
Thank you very much
