It depends on how much you want to represent, but a simple square brush for 1:1 painting will give you long enough fibres…

Try getting small lengths of fake fur or remnants at a fabric store if you have one nearby.

Very , very cool G , BRILLIANT !!

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for the suggestion, I tend to use brush bristles for small areas, e.g. things like reeds, but I’m after doing large swathes, so the brush idea wouldn’t really be practical.

Cheers, :beer:,

Hi Jerry,

I did check out teddy bear fur, but the only stuff I could find was soft, so it tended to lay down as opposed to standing up relatively rigidly. What did you use for the large swathes in your OP Epsom, I know it was shorter, but it was still deeper than the troops boots?

Cheers, :beer:,

Hi Glenn,

That water works was a tough nut to crack G-man and you got er done. Great work, Buddy!

Hi Ski,

Thanks for the monos they look too cool but where’s the crew gone? Hope you’re not done yet, I’d like to see a set of photos of the finished article. Oh yeah did I mention this is a masterpiece? :tumbler_glass: :tumbler_glass: :tumbler_glass:

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your kind words, :slightly_smiling_face:. No, not done yet, still working on the water, but it’s slow work letting layers dry, so small gains each time.

The crew will get done, though it seems it’s the figure painting, or should that be…the fear of figure painting…that derails me, :thinking: :unamused:. I still have the Churchill in the snow crew to finish, :disappointed:.

Cheers, :beer:,

G-man, get after them figs in due time, but remember, ya gotta have fun doing them and then you’ll notice they seem to work out just fine. We learn to walk before we run, we drool before we learn to speak, and we use our hands before we use a fork. Point bein, none of us walk on water, so it’s just a matter of practice, right?

Keep er rollin Bro, this scenario is really starting to pop!

Hi Ski,

Thanks for the kind words regarding the scene thus far, :slightly_smiling_face:.

Of course your right about the figures, but I have a real mental block about them at the moment, but I do need to get my fat butt into gear and bite the bullet, :smile:.

Cheers, :beer:,

I finished mine, you can finish yours. :joy:

Hi Ryan,

Now you’re just showing off, :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:.

Which kit have you finished, and which build to look for to find the finished article? :slightly_smiling_face:.

Thanks G. I am liking this and your other build better keep up the good work.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you, :slightly_smiling_face:.

Looking forward to your Finemolds Ho-I build, there’s something about WW2 Japanese tanks that appeals visually, not unlike the ‘Stuart’, it’s that sort of ‘cobbled together’ look that I like, :slightly_smiling_face:.

Cheers, :beer:,

Looks like I’m sorta late for the party here…not sure how I missed this one but I have to concur with the other posts here, you nailed the water. The vegetation looks remarkable. Figures and overall painting looks great. Just a very well done diorama. :+1:t2: :+1:t2:

Cheers,
