Quick Hedges and Shrubs
Hi everyone,
As predicted, I found an excuse to not paint infantry – so I worked on some hedges and shrubs.
The hedges were very easy and quick to make and no paint was needed except for the base. I used Vallejo thick sand paste for this. The painting of the base is the same for the rest of the models in this project.
I then dabbed PVA glue all over the hedges and sprinkled flock on it.
I bought this Heki product sometimebefore 2008. I am not sure what it is called.
Strips of this Heki product was hot-glued to base strips.
The base was painted up and flock added.The shrubs were made in a similar way. The branches are real dried pieces, and the base was covered with real soil. Therefore no paint was used to make these. I cut up what was left of the Heki material and glued the pieces onto the dried braches. Then when dry and dabbed with PVA glue and flocked.
No paint was used to make these shrubs.Last but not least I made some storage for the terrain I made. The philosophy behind this was the same for the project as a whole. Use materials I already have and do it as cheaply as possible.
A multilayer storage made from a cardboard box and foam board off-cuts.
Everything paked up neatly and securely.That is all for now. Until next week stay safe and have fun.
