I am working on a 1/35 scale Tiger Tank project with infantry. I am planning on basing the tank and the infantry on a Basswood base that will be stained and varnished.
What types of modelling pastes or puttys are suitable for creating a terrain groundwork for a scale model like this? I have used Woodland Scenics Flexpaste, as well as ready-mixed wall filler for other wargaming and miniatures projects(like gaming boards and miniature basing), they work well for creating groundwork.
I also plan to have the Tiger Tank in a muddy setting, so I need something that I can sculpt onto the boots and pants of the infantry, as well as onto the treads and lower body of the tank. I also plan to model tread tracks into the mud material while it is still wet. So really I need something that can be applied and then worked and scultped and modelled while it is still wet, before I set it aside to dry.
What do you use?
Thanks in advance, this is a great forum, lot's of nice, friendly people!
