Dermo245 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 So needed a diorama in a hurry for a kit I was building. Didn't have time to go out and shop so just went with what I could find around the house. Yes, it's a little bit 'cheap' but hopefully not too nasty! The base was the back from one of those kids toys that come with comics - I think this was a pinball machine. (it didn't work so my son gladly donated it to his Dad). Gave it a coat of Flat Back, then a couple of coats of Klear and smeared on some pollyfilla. Some brown hobby paint... Then brushed on different shades of green because I had no scale grass.. Some Matt Varnish and we were done. I admit it's a bit rough around the edges but did what it needed to do I think... Might do up a little badge for it.....if nothing else but to distract from the featureless grass! Thanks for looking, Dermot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Raid the herbs and spices rack..... get some dil tops, coat 'grass' area with a thin layer of dilute PVA and sprinkle on the dil. When dry, go over with washes of light and dark greens. It's not a patch on static grass, but it's not bad. Rearguards, Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
