No I have a new job. Only half an hour away. And the Missus would say only half a job
I don't start till the back of 9 and I am usually finished by about half one. They are also paying me a fortune to be there.

Now in addition to more photos, please tell us how on earth you get a job like that?

Yes airbrushed. I thought it would be quicker but I will take just as long painting all the wood.
I am not very tidy with an airbrush

Need some help Guys.
I am trying to make a grass embankment to mount the mansion on.
I tried this

But it looks too artificial

What can I do to fix it?

Vary the colour of the flock a bit? Perhaps using some different colour drybrushes over the top.

It looks pretty bloody good though anyway

Captain Blood · « **Reply #57 on:** June 08, 2012, 05:15:39 PM »

Looks lovely Colin. But I'd scrape it off and use static grass rather than flock. Model railway shops sell it. Always looks a lot more realistic than flock, because static grass is essentially fibres whereas flock is granules or chippings... Also the colours they achieve with static grass are usually more lifelike and less 'dyed' looking...

Dr. The Viking · « **Reply #58 on:** June 08, 2012, 05:19:20 PM »

I agree. This way of application is to 'not random' and winds up looking rather like exactly what it is - a model. A bit like the way they do railway modelling sceneries I think.

Try adding static grass on top perhaps? With a static grass applicator (essentially just a device making the grass static..) perhaps. Or as Mute suggest drybush it a little to give variations over the green tone.

Or be completely radical and put sand on it and paint it like grass as people did on bases in the olden days.

Colin, I'll bring some of the stuff I use tomorrow, you can try that.

Other wise looking good.how is the interior?

Cheers

Andy
