    Although I am an experienced modeller it is always useful to review the basics. And here again I learned new tricks (mainly about chinchilla sand). About static grass glue, you can make your own cheaper one diluting matt mod podge. I use it now as my only scenic glue, reserving PVA for wood or card assemblies and gloss mod podge to create water effects over a resin base. The advantage is that for the cost of a 250 gr of Noch glue you can make thrice the quantity using 500gr mod podge plus water and a bit of IPA or dish soap. Also you can apply it thick or dilute it to a runnier consistency to spray or soak a surface with a spray bottle or a pipette.

      Does it really remain very, very matte with no shine when dry?

    • @ericsainte290
      @ericsainte290 Год назад +1

      Yes. There aremany modeller who uses it as scenic glue for that reason both in the US and Europe. I buy it in half liter jars from Ava (Belgium)

    I have a metal sheet pan to which I clip parchment paper. Black spring metal office supply clips are fantastic for this. Then I attach the ground wire clip to one of those and it helps tremendously with the grass standing up on it's own.

    Good video Martin, informative as always. Some people use tiling grout instead of chinchilla sand but I would say the sand is easier to get. Easiest place for cheap pigments is eBay.
    Hardest to model rocks I've ever done were red sandstone (South Devon, UK) ones. For a start they're not red, more a reddy brown but in some light appear more red!
    I ended up making a wash to go over the red/brown base colour out of red and brown inks. Seem to remember the red being about 60% of the wash. The pigment in ink being stronger than paint hence it's use.
    Photos are invaluable as you said but allow for the conditions the photo was taken in, especially if off the web!

  • @MegaTurbolol
    @MegaTurbolol Год назад +1

    Very good advices ! But I would seal it by spraying "wet water", then a mix of PVAglue/water/drop of dishwash, as for ballast. This allows all the work to stay well in place, and be able to be vacuumed later for cleaning

    I suppose observation of nature itself and its colouring profoundly for the erea one wants to model, would evidently be a solid starting point. For us, the next decision was what materials to use, as it can become very costly. We've decided to use as much from real nature as possible and to filter it, treat it for hygiene, apply it, conserve it and then make sure that the end result can be vacuumed of course. You'd be surprised what real nature can provide, even different colours of sand, stone chips which can be grinded down, small woods, et, etc... Static grass and building materials are a different matter of course. We are lucky to live near a forest and nature all around us but most certainly, the 'need' for commercial products (and cost) in all cases can be greatly reduced by thinking alternatively...

    I don't build dioramas, but I like to take photos of my models with background foliage.
    I have a mixture of mosses (which can be sourced from the garden) arranged randomly on a base which has been painted with acrylic paints.
    This arrangement is kept outside the house so the moss is kept fresh and moist (spray with water when it dries out).
    Only used with 1/24 scale so far but maybe this budget background greenery idea can be used with other sizes!
