Continuing on with the basing, I then prepare the flocking material. I use a mixture of different materials and colours, flock, sand, fine sawdust, dried moss and even the inside of an old hacky sack which seems to be a mixture of shaved plastic chips. I keep it in a plastic display cover that came with the model tank in the "tank magazine".
I then move back to the actual bases and glue the figures to the base with PVA.
After the figures dry, I then smear PVA across the base in a nice and thick mix.
Then holding the figures I dip and push the base thru the mix ensuring a full coating is applied.
A quick tap on the side of the box removes loose material, then set down to dry for 12 to 24 hours. A bit of loose flock may fall off the base in the course of its life, but that just adds character to the table. Nice one.
What did the gas-bags come out like Paul, it is hard to tell from the photograph.

ReplyDeleteIn saying that gasbags are not that hard to manufacture eh?
