Title: Rugby squirrels
Post by: OSHIROmodels on November 16, 2018, 08:26:16 PM: Not really wargaming but just a bit of fun. We’ve got friends over for the Jpn v Eng rugby tomorrow so I thought a little prezzie would be nice for them to take back. The base is 60mm square to give a sense of scale.

They are repainted and the goal post is scratchbuilt along with the grass.

Got them from a gachapon in Japan I’m afraid. I think there are more designs but what you get is random.

Fantastic - how did you do the turf?

A soft scouring pad sprayed dark brown, a light scattering of mid brown flock then a liberal dose of static grass on the top. The white lines were just brushed on with a size 3 when it was all dry.

In my defence I do live in Rugby (the town).
