Collins Doesn't do Savage Frontier
Testing - part 5 - the lunch time run to the shop
I ran to the shop at lunch and picked up 5 more flocks and realised that I also had a big tub of mixed herbs too.
picked up a mixture of everything they had available.
top left = javis no1 light fine turf (foam)
top right = javis no3 dark green fine turf (foam)
middle left = javis scatter no17 heath green (sawdust)
middle right = javis scatter no21 pasture green (sawdust)
bottom left = woodland scenics weeds fine turf (sponge foam)
bottom right = mixed herbs
As you can see, originally before final sealing the snow looked alright! it was sprinkled on when wet so was kinda stuck down but not really…. not enough for gaming on or safe storage anyway.
the left side was done as
- pva
- soil
- flocks
- seal with pva
- sprinkle snow and allow to dry
- seal with pva
it went well until I sealed it with pva. some snow flock came away before I sealed it though. not great for a table that will end up being stored.
the right side was done
- pva
- soil
- seal with pva
- flocks and snow
- seal with pva
immediately the colour started to leach from the foam flocks. I am also wondering whether geek gaming and javis foam scatter flocks are actually the same product. they look the same, act the same, taste the same (I expect they do anyway) so they could well be the same.
as the right hand side became apparent immediately I then decided to dump a load of snow flock on top of the watered down pva sealing layer just to see what happens… will update tomorrow!
place your bets… I bet it doesn’t all stick
