Tuft Making: Updated (Results now attached)
« on: July 03, 2021, 05:27:49 AM »
Please find a link to my generic blog for what I hope is a useful how-to explanation for my newly acquired tuft-making skills. Oh, and you'll have to excuse the crude and unsubtle title of said posting ... I couldn't help myself.

Looks great. I just picked up a cheap Chinese ion generator and am going to be trying this soon

Sounds similar to the method I have used; you have got great results. I made a template but it was too small- you actually need decent sized holes in the template.

Yes, I'll experiment with the hole-template also and I take your point about the size of the holes. I've seen in done on Youtube - a bit fiddly but good results.

My next unit of infantry will use as many of the tufts as I can cram on to see how it represents a grassy field rather than tufts on arid ground.

Thought I'd share the results of applying my grass tufts to my new bases. To be frank, it's mainly from the squiggles and lines that most of the paler grass was cut and glued. I used a tacky-white glue instead of PVA when sticking them down onto my textured bases. It's mainly covered in the new blog post on the 2/31st foot for Busaco 1810.
