@sundancer half day, nice 🙂 Hope you enjoy it
@woldenspoons if I recall there was a brief demonstration that @lloyd did in a terrain video a few years ago on simple hay bails. It was essentially gluing PVA to a square object and rolling it in what was either accumulated static grass clippings or chopped up coconut husks and then spraying and detailing when dry. Apologies I don’t remember exactly as it was a few years ago and I couldn’t locate on the site (my search-fu is weak…). I think the demonstration might have been an aside while he was showing how to make fields and haystacks? regardless, something along those lines would probably be pretty effective. maybe glue a coil of twine around the middle to look like rope? Of course depending on the game you are playing hay bails may look different. What @sundancer suggests would I think work really well for the more modern rounded hay bails.
@mage hope you are feeling better soon. Don’t sweat the points they are gratefully received 🙂 – have spent a lot of time on the historicals but not much actual progress. Mainly getting distracted by army lists and youtube gameplays… yeah that coffin just screams powerful vampire lord – any clerics in your party? I’m keen for Orktober – trying to hold off on getting prep work started until September finishes. Plus I’m waiting for some conversion bits from Spellcrow to land in the post… Have enough projects going on to distract me presently so no doubt I’ll manage to keep my enthusiasm in check a little longer 🙂 From the look of the thread you put up there seems to be a reasonable number of people who were keen to join in. Are you envisaging something like a mini WAYPN thread where people post what they are youp to for a month?
Managed to get my French detailed and 95th rifles up to the point where all the colours were blocked out and hit them with a coat of AP dip this evening. Will hopefully matt varnish tomorrow and get some flock on the bases and then I will have enough for some starter games of Sharp Practice. Plan thereafter is to start cycling through a few smaller projects for a bit then get back to historicals for some cavalry options. Then put everything else on hold once the green tide rises in a few weeks 😉
