Collins Doesn't do Savage Frontier
all in an evenings work
Tonight I elected to just go for it with 4 of the tiles.
As there doesn’t seem to be an issue with laying down the soil and tile grout layer separate from the greenery layer I just went with it.
I also finished working on the cobblestone path between the two houses and came to the realisation that mechanicus standard grey is basically a blue grey…. who knew!
I PVA’d the base boards and then sieved and sprinkled the 2 types of ground material on the piece. First was soil and tile grout mix (2:1 ratio) and then mildly larger pebbles were scattered in the river bed to try and bring additional realism to it when I break out the epoxy resin.
I cleaned out all the ‘tree holes’ with a dry brush so they still fit in there well.
when it was all laid out I then sprayed with 99.9% ISO as a flow aid and then with a 50:50 mix of matt varnish and PVA watered down so it would spray through an old anti bacterial atomiser/spray bottle.
I used kitchen roll to clean out the excess from the tree holes and off the areas I didn’t want it sitting on (tops of rocks).
I will leave it overnight to dry. Hope it doesn’t warp!
