Nigel...In case you didn't happen to see this? <br /><br />Nigel has posted his technique!<br /><br />my technique is as follows:<br />1. Lay out faux fur and comb [or vacuum] through to remove any loose fibers [there will be a lot]. Using the vacuum saves a lot time.<br />2. Mark out the positions of roads and streams, with a felt tip or marker pen.<br />3. Using a beard trimmer [I use a Wahl model], trim down the fur pile at the roads and streams. Leave about 1/4" or less file height at the roads, less at the streams.<br />4. Cut in with the trimmer perpendicular to the direction of the road, to leave the raised section down the center of the road. I actually use this method to cut in my streams, as I like my streams to be narrower than my roads.<br />5. Using spray paint [I use Model Master Light Earth], spray the roads and streams a brown color [I like my streams to appear muddy, and not the color of the sky].<br />6. Using spray paints [I use Rustoleum Camouflage paints], spray the fields - I use Khaki for the wheat field, army green for pasture and deep forest green for wooded areas etc].<br />7. Spray along the center and banks of the road with Model Master Medium or Dark Green.<br />8. Highlight the fields by very lightly spraying with other shades of khaki, green and browns to give 'texture' to the fields or larger areas.<br />9. Using a 1/4" flat head brush, dry brush the tracks of the roads, using an acrylic paint [I use Delta Ceramcoat Sandstone].<br />And you're done........<br /><br />Doug Kline [BTC] keeps whispering an alternative to the use of the camo paints, but I always forget what he tells me..... [I've probably had too much Scotch at that point to remember much anyway]<br /><br />NigelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462995386635906926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754400854915719871.post-78307165047161318002011-07-06T17:05:34.416-07:002011-07-06T17:05:34.416-07:00Great looking game and I love the teddy-bear fur t...Great looking game and I love the teddy-bear fur terrain.<br /><br />Well done!Ben Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548280904041987733noreply@blogger.com
