Anglia105E Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I can see that you have been busy, Yordan..... nicely done, too...... will there be a vehicle on this country road, or would that spoil the peace and tranquillity? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hi David, it’s been a while. There will be a vehicle. I purchased a plastic kit (a truck) that I have to paint and assemble. I have never put a kit together, so we will see how it turns out. There will be other details on the diorama suck as an old truck tire on the side of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something about assembling a bunch of parts out of the box, and seeing the model become an accurate replica of the real thing..... once you start, you cannot stop!

I just use real dirt with some acrylic washes for color depth and static grass. I mix different colors of static grass for a more realistic look. In some areas I mix more dead grass with fresh grass. Depending on imagines traffic, sun light and humidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambles Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 You'll enjoy building the kit. Lots of good tips on this site. I've been building model cars most of my 67 years, and still keep a couple going on the bench. Great hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olsbooks Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) One of these days I'm going to have dig deep and go to static grass...or figure out a way to develop something suitable. Instead of static, I wonder if magnetism might work. Remember the kids toy where you drag a magnetic pen over clear plastic to create a fuzzy face? Wooly booby or something like that was the name if memory serves. Edited October 5, 2019 by olsbooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooly booby or something like that was the name if memory serves. That could work. I also use moss, grinder in a coffee grinder to the smallest particles. For the longer grass tufts I use cheap paint brush hair, which I randomly color at the base with green. I leave the top with the natural color to make it look dry. Once the glue for the longer tufts is dried, you could use a small soldering iron to randomly curl the outer perimeter, or just completely, as if it was completely dead. I think it adds more realism as nothing looks uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Excellent work going on here, Yordan..... and the first one of your most recent photos I like, because of the rocky outcrop, just above the rough track and where the trees start. You must be enjoying this work in progress! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But overall I cannot complain, since I haven’t been doing this for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QbanFam Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Truck build has begun. I glued some parts together and distressed the body. It still needs some work refining the dents. Soon to start priming with Mi Jimenez surface primer (Rust Primer color) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
