Hi all - I've been progressing with the ground work on this one. My first time at any kind of terrain other than flat ground so feedback is always welcomed.
First up, I used sheet plastic and cut foam to define the shape of the ground work:
I then covered this in sculptamold, and scattered various grades of woodland scenics rocks / gravel over the base, secured using mod podge.
Once this had dried (several days), I base coated with Tamiya gloss black from a rattle can. This helped to produce shadows for the top coats:
Next came some Gunze dark earth, keeping some darker patches for the river bed:
Then some dry brushing:
Next came some long grass and reeds, as well as some small shrubs, again from woodland scenics:
And some more dry brushing to get the final effect:
A bit more of an idea of how this might look. You can probably get a feel for where I will have the river level, once I work out the best way to do that without making a huge mess....
As I said, first time at something like this, so i welcome all feedback!
Anyone know where to get some 1/48 scale ducks....?
Cheers,
BC
