What's occurrin' then?
It's been a busy week. A daughter who not only turned 16 but also needed a prom dress. WTF, back in my day, it was a school disco in the afternoon, still in your uniform. No chance of drinking or any other kind of fun. How times seem to have changed. So a command decision was made, leave the dress shopping to the Mrs. and I'll finish my scenery. Most sensible, especially when said daughter goes all "Promzilla" on my ass.
We shall endeavour to continue the cultural mission. More art from the magnificent Bryan Baugh. This one is called Army of Darkness. Great movie, great memories, great art. Enjoy!
As mentioned last time, the rocky outcrops were going to be painted and flocked. That's exactly what happened, don't you love it when a plan comes together.
So on top of the "chocolate" emulsion basecoat, I drybrushed a slightly lighter brown emulsion. This was kindly mixed for me by the nice man in our local B & Q. I believe the shade was called "Chocolate Suede".
Another drybrushed coat followed with an even lighter brown, "Cozy Cocoon", another stupid name. Again custom mixed by the nice man in B & Q. Pretty good value too, £ 2.50 for a 500ml pot, same price as a GW 10ml pot. I wonder which one will last longer?
I then flocked them with a special blend of flocks that I've had for years. I think they were called "Dark Heather Mix" and a brown flock, who's name has been lost in the mists of time.
After the glue for the flocking dried, I added a few patches of static grass.
Further coverage was achieved by strategic use of grass tufts, which I ran out of half way through. These may need to be revisited at some point.
Some where is another piece of foilage, a dark green bushy thing, a clipped piece of an old GW hedge. Bought back in the days when I didn't know any better.
Maybe, should have added more of the clipped hedge. No, they look OK. Stop second guessing one's self. The tree turned out nice.
Just bloody realised I've forgotten to add the clump foilage. Never mind, it will keep for another scenery piece.
The storage shed is next in line for completion, if all goes to plan. We all know how that goes.
I guess that's all I got for this time dudes and dudettes. So until next time follow the DUDE'S lessons and "take it easy".
