Farmyard update pics

Hi Zokissima,

For the grass i bought some plumbers hemp.It is very fine,in a sandy type colour available at most DIY or hardware stores.I simply hung it up and sprayed mist coats of Humbrols matt grass green over it and left it to dry.Once dry,cut the desired length i needed and glued it to the dio base.As it is only a misted coat;you get the colour of grass plus the colour of dried grass.Usually i tend to dry brush areas with various green colours and add fine strands of a paintbrush here and there.

Cheers,thanks for looking!

It's coming along nicly Shay.

I came across a farmer figure and that wheel barrow you have on ebay so I think I'll have to order that base now although I still hav'nt found a supplier in the UK.

Dough's are doing some really great cow's at the moment too which would go nicly with it. 

Hi Glyn,

Thanks for the compliment mate!Do you have a link to the cow's you mentioned?I'll send an email to the owner of Dioramaworld Marcel and find out if he has a UK distributor yet.Cheers,Shay

Hi Shay,

Cant find a website for the figures,I found them on ebay.

They are called Doug's Originals,he does a few military figures and the farm animal's.

I just saw those figures at Colorado Miniatures. The geese cracked me up, I'm gonna have to get them for the project I'm moving on to.

 It's a good link, Steve. And the geese are pretty funny.
