Terrain

[GEM]

A Base has been pick, the Windmill is already painted, a base for trees fro GEM and Trees from Companhia das Miniaturas.

The elements being organized in the base, with the well added.

Terrain modelling is done using Das Pronto modelling clay.

And to be followed

Good work so far

[GEM]

We continue with the terrain starter sets, for this dio we will use the Set 1 Europe and the Set 2 Afrika.

We mix the Pigment from set 1 with PVA glue, we added also a little of Red Earth Pig-9. The mix we used here is very diluted.

Because the mix is more diluted, this will help to settle better the pigment from set 2, ochre mixed with desert sand f-010 and some stones, that we scattered on top of the mix.

We go from the track to the surrounding area. Here we use the same mix, but thicker.

Before it gets dry we can start adding ground cover. For that we will use the ground cover that comes in the set leaves and terrain.

It is very important that you don't let the Das Pronto dry before this step, after scattering the ground cover it is time to do the grass. This is done by sticking the grass in the Das pronto so it can be vertical.


The same process is done on the other part of the diorama

Several materials were used, since ground covers, grass and stones to give some diversity.

Looks great João

And the tutorial is also

[Maurice]

Great tutorial, I like the small tree base, good for wargames and easy to make using some model railroad houses.

One question; I see you use DAS Pronto, doesn't that shrink when it dries? That's what some store owner told me once.

[GEM]

I don't have any reason to complain. Until now It worked fine for me.

[GEM]

After the base of the well is painted, we start working on the rest of the details.


We make another mixture of PVA Glue, pigment, stones and some ground cover.


That mixture is going to be applied in areas where we want to have more ground cover or grass.


Here is the result


Another example


When we are working with the ground cover or grass, the best is to have the model in a box. Like that we can apply what we want and don't make a mess on the working table and in the end we can re-use all the material that didn't stick with the glue.


Still continues...

[Peter]

And it looks nicer and nicer.

Is that copperwire on the well?

[GEM]

Yes it is Peter. Copper wire twisted to make a rope.

Cheers

[GEM]

The Well already has a roof.


It was added more Pigment Pig-05 and desert sand F-10 to the path.


We start to work on the acessories that we bring the model to life.






It was added more grass in the tree's area.

more to come...
