Hi guys
Thanks for the comments!
I am glad you share my sense of humour. Sometimes "really professional" modellers tend to be annoyed by these little incursions
into this less noble area (according to them, I guess) of this great hobby. But hey, who gives a FFATM about them? :) :)
Sometimes I tend to be vey succint on my posts, so, here is a brief description on how the base was made:
1. A piece of roofmate slab cut to approximated desired shape
2. The borders of the roofmate slab were "texturized" using a hot wire styrofoam cutter. Just for kicks :)
3. A thin layer of Vallejo Grey Coarse Pumice Paste was applied with a spatula and flat brush to simulate the terrain.
If you cant find this paste near you, try to mix very fine sand with some sort of acrylic gel medium or any equivalent method.
There are lots fo different methods to skin this cat....
4. Some pieces of shredded cork were randomly implanted in the still fresh terrain, to simulate stones and rocks.
Again, if no cork available, real small stones and rocks collected in your local garden will do the trick!
5. Static grass (from Noch in this case) was applied also in random patches to simulate some short vegetation.
Glued with white glue and aplied with the GrassMaster electrostatic applicator also from Noch, but you can use
the puff bottle or a small sieve from you kitchen, and save the 100 Bucks:)
6. Everything was finally brush painted with Vallejo Model Color acrylics, and a final touch with Winsor&Newton oils.
And that's pretty much it :)
