Good game. Can you tell me about those grass mats please? They look very effective. |

The grass mat is just a piece of faux fur from Michaels Craft store. They're about 12x10" or so. I cut "paths" through them with hair clippers and scissors, but left some of it long. Then I airbrushed it various shades of green, yellow and brown.
I can take more pics of you need, or if you have any more questions please ask. |

Your shade work on the mats with the airbrush is great. Really good blending. What sort of paints did you use and did it effect the behavior of the fur – did it stiffen much? |

General, I used Vallejo Air Color. I just picked an ochre color, a grassy green, a dark green, a dark brown and a lighter brown. I diluted each color pretty well with straight Windex. Initially it did stiffen, but I ran an old comb through it as it was drying to loosen it and also blend it a bit. after a minute or so it was relatively soft and fluffy again. |
