I really like the fields. How did you model those rows? They have a spring look Also is the road a noch foam tape? I like the look of that as well.
The fields are actually corrugated cardboard. I found a sheet in the scrapbook section of a local craft store. I found another sheet in packing that had slightly tighter rows. This one is the smaller field. Both sheets had the corrugation exposed. The next step is to add soil on top. I am going for a spring look and feel. One will field will be left soil, the other will have greenery to represent early planting. I am loving the results!
Let the flocking fly! With the underlaying paint down, time to start building up the layers. First was real soil, sifted and glued down with matte Mod Podge. I let that dry for a few days. Next is on to the base greenery. This included underbrush for the forested section, new growth in one of the fields and assorted grasses. Next up... trees and details. I may put in the split rail fence next to help me decide tree placement. But for now, time to let everything dry for a day.
That is a great look. Using real soil makes the difference did you bake it first or put in microwave to kill any critters in it?
Rob, This is looking great! Love the fields and the spring green! Looking forward seeing the finished module. Where did you get the highway from? -Tiest Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Joe no need to put the soil in the microwave. I basically scape the soil, then sift it to remove most larger particle. Some of this soil has been sitting for years so nothing is alive. Tiest the road is from Noch. It is self adhesive. They have a couple of different color options. I love the look!
This is the product, Rob? I have had one laying around for decades... looks good on your module! Matt
Yes it is!!! Great product. I put a little soil along the edge to represent the birm and help to hold down the edges.
