Cant see the wood for the trees
Quick update
Hi All
Sorry for delay in posting pictures of the next stage, slight technical difficulty with my phone that i took the photos on. Things hopefully will resume shortly.
In the mean time i would like to share my views on the progress so far……having assembled the core of the trees and painted the trunks and canopy I progressed to gluing Flock/foliage. This at first appeared to go really well using PVA, Fine up to the point I then sprayed it with my airbrush to add a layer of Matt varnish.
This caused a large quantity of the flock to be “blasted off” the trees leaving large gaps in the coverage…..but this once dry did stick firmly.
Either I did not apply enough glue or I need to adjust the ferocity of the air flow from the airbrush, on reflection also using some for of spray contact glue may have worked better to start with.
This then led to several glue spray stages to finally get to a reasonable coverage I was happy with…a little more time but no other expense incurred
As I had the time I was not to put off by this just disappointed it had not worked first time around which may have dampened others resolve if they were hoping for this to go according to plan.
Moral of the story expect the unexpected to throw a spanner in the works now and then when terrain building.
