A Tale of Four Gamers - the Sequel

[Techno]

My fingertips are now 90% cynoacrylate!😜😳😱

Keep a small pot of cheapo nail varnish remover near you, Will....(Some types are basically pure acetone.)
If you're quick you can get the worst of the 'superglue' off your digits, with a bit of kitchen towel, dabbed in the acetone

Just don't tip/spill the acetone over anything.....It'll strip varnish from a table....Paint from a figure...and it'll 'melt' all sorts of plastic.

Cheers - Phil

First squadron of French ships of the line as ready as the British (barring a few minor points like leaders, experienced crews, and superior guns).

Basically it is artifical grass mounted onto 2mm mdf. I use contact adhesive to stick the two together. I then use polyfilla to blend the sides in, then the usual steps of grit, paint and flock. Hope this helps?

[paulr]

Thanks, it does indeed help

Did you paint the yellow 'stalks' in the fields or was the artificial grass mixed in colour?

[Techno]

Belting work, Steve !

They are part of the mix and look much more realistic than the bright monochrome green that you often see. The samples I got were about 4" square and of varying heights. Most you will need to trim down with scissors so they don't dwarf the figures.

[paulr]

Thanks I'll have to see if I can find some mixed artificial grass, as you say the bright monochrome green doesn't look realistic
