Title: Using towelling for scenery,
Post by: Nightmask on 28 April 2013, 10:07:49 AM

Guys,

I am looking at creating my own modulair boards (actually considered pledging for the sectret weapons ones but reckon I create my own)
I read in BGK about using towels fors grass. Anybody have experience in this. I used it ones but went horribly wrong.
Any "how to's" or Youtube clips anyone can recommend?

Cheers,

Nightmask

Don't know to any "How to's" on line, but I use it quite often.

I glue it to MDF or polystryene using PVA without any problems, some I just glue up to edge, for a more robust finish I turn it over the edges and staple gun it as well. After it has dryed I then spray it with varying shades of green and yellow car paint.

Sometimes if it comes up at the edges or along roads I just glue it back down with PVA.

In this blog:

The author uses towel for pretty much all his scenery boards with ASTOUNDING results.

Check all the pics carefully.

And somewhere (just search a littler around the blog), he even explains all the steps for glueing, painting, etc.

Hope that helps.
