What is the tall grass made of??

Viktor Berglind
Really nice! By the way, how did u make the sand on the tires? Pigments? 🙂

Aghis Barberopoulos
Very nice display!

Ingmar Stöhr
Thanx. The dirt on the tires is only pigments + pigment fixer. Pigments applied in bigger amounts, pressed into the profile an rubbed away on the flanks of the tires with paintbrush or fingertip. As far as I remeber, it was my first try at pigments.

And the tall Grass??

Ingmar Stöhr
The tall grass is made of hair of a big, cheap paintbrush. First I tried to stick the long hairs into white glue. But they won't stay upreight. What worked, was to put them into a 3-5 mm thick coat of Molto Holz-Reperatur-Spachtel. Here they stay upright. The technique is a bit tedious. But I like how it worked out. And better even if you like it also. (I added a picture aof the brush)

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
It looks fantastic and thanks for the hint with the Molto. 🙂

Frank Krause
Hi Ingmar, this will really become a nice, little dio. The idea with the brush is great! Looking forward to the finals.

Viktor Berglind
Thanks for the info! It looks great! Im building a Puma at the moment and gonna weather it like this. 😄

Ingmar Stöhr
Hi Victor, I realy like the 234 series. To me they have something aesthetic. I have to get myself a Puma at some time. And I'd realy like to do this 234/1 again, since I have learned many things since the time I finished this one (around 2007 / 2008 as far as I remember)

Frank Krause
You're not alone with that opinion about 234 series, Ingmar!😉

scalemates

Mike Kryza

Viktor Berglind
I agree Ingmar. I dont know why but i just love the German ww2 design overall, planes tanks, you name it!

Bill Gilman

A gap in education!😉

Bill Gilman
Big gap...almost as big as the space between my ears. 🙂

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Lol
I didnt say that ,Mate! 🙂

Ingmar Stöhr
First figure almost done. Building + painting took three evenings... Somehow I have the feeling, that I have to speed up my figure painting... but I'm quiet satisfied with the result. Just the helmet missing.
