OK.....so ive scratched the swastika, and made some changes to get more consistency. now i am working on the cover iam using this help from another forum. " The default material to make bushes has for decades been lichens. They
can be bought at your LHS, model train shops, craft stores and if you
live near the woods, plucked from trees or growing on the forest floor.
The model railroad lichens are commonly dyed in hideous colors not
found in nature, so a quick shot from the airbrush or spray can is
necessary to render them a more appropriate color. The main problem
with lichens is that they don't look much like real bushes, namely
because they don't have any leaves. This can be fixed by hitting them
with a blast of spray-glue, such as 3M's Super 77, sprinkling on dried
herbs such as oregano, basil, parsley leaves or Woodland Scenics
"Coarse Turf" shredded foam and painting when dry. You can also use the
same technique with tree roots, but after the spray-glue treatment,
cover the roots with Woodland Scenics "Poly Fiber", trim to shape with
scissors, spray again with spray-glue, and cover with herb leaves or
shredded foam. Paint when dry."
cause i was wondering how much cover do u think is enough?
