I don´t know wether it´s cheaper than teddybear fur but it is easier to create the layers with clay than using fur.

I had not thought of using clay as you did, it seems such an obvious choice now that you have done the work! Thanks for posting this.

The White wall. I´ve been considering cutting off the bottom cm and replacing with a Stone wall.. but that would involve using a hacksaw (the Card is thick ) and would probably end up with it getting wrecked. I´ll use your idea and also add some other bits, moss, muck, a Barrel, wheel or even a potatoe shed when it gets based.

Looks good. I also love the way you plan out the beams, I tend to just go with what I feel like at the time. <br /><br />If the base of one model is too white, you could always just add some very light yellow/white mix patches just to take the vividness away slightly. <br /><br />But I love how you can just discover something and think, I can use that and then get inspired.DJ Kettletyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894271723686842984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-69279554782696574232015-08-14T09:05:10.334-07:002015-08-14T09:05:10.334-07:00Great looking models.
