As you can see, I've been working on the "chunky trunk" palms. The trunks have all had a coat of thinned frame sealant, been basecoated and dry-brushed. I've also sprayed all of the foliage bits today:
This evening, while we were recording the last podcast until September, I stuck the sprayed foliage onto the trunks. I'll be dry-brushing them tomorrow, then I can start work on basing them.
I've also prepared some "swamp" bases:
I've also made up some texture gunk for the swamp bases:
The gunk dried much more matte than this |
It's a mix of frame sealant, brown paint, PVA, sand and herbs.
Great progress Tamsin, the swamp base has a great texture to it
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteWhat is frame sealant, and how do you thin it? I may know it under a different, North American name. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's an acrylic caulking used for sealing gaps between masonry and window/door frames. You can thin it with water - you don't need to add much, just enough so it can be applied with a brush. Don't use a good brush with it though as you will need to use something like nail polish remover to clean it.
DeleteFactory production .. impressive!
