Nice work, Tom. What did you use for the leafy plants in the farmer's field? |

Thanks, Guys! Bobspruster: I used two different methods that I had kicking around to try for a while. One was the use of tufts by Gamer's Grass (their GG2-DM) because there are many shapes and can be cut (if necessary) to fit. While they have an adhesive backing, I first laid down Elmers (PVA) to ensure adhesion. The second way was a simple bead of Elmer's then sprinkled with flocking. Faster and added another color and texture. Be sure to leave a few small gaps down the rows where the "seeds" did not develop. Growing multiple veggies (possibly for home use) adds to "the story" for me. |

I'm working on some bases where you can scenic then drill holes and plant one's trees where ever you want. I bought a bucketload of of good looking and cheap trees from Amazon that don't come with bases. Making the bases big enough for multiple trees-one does not need to make 100 separate trees- a pain to lay down and pick up from the game table. Scatter terrain is the way to go for me. |
