                        scratch gravemarkers

                        Just wanted to share some scratchbuilt grave markers, made of airdry clay, this piece preceded the scratchbuilt flak bunker. Don't know about anyone else, but creating your own is much more rewarding! Any input much appreciated.

                        Very nice! Wide varity and all look like markers that are real. The vegitation in the dio looks a little sparse, maybe add a little but shorter weeds in there. Thumbs Up [tup] good job!

                        Thank you Boba....Just wanted to go for the grown up around the graves look, but adding shorter weeds may be what it needs...

                        Yes, nicely done!

                        I haven't tried worked with clay yet, but I want to try, there are diorama pieces to go with my figures that I can't really find anywhere else.

                        And I agree with you 100%, scratching your own is very satisfying.

                        Regards,

                        Yeah, keep the tall around the markers, short in the middle with an occasional taller one. You might wanna add a little more varity there too. Maybe a vine on the tall marker?

                        Thank you for your feedback Baron...clay seems to be a great alternative to buying, as you said things you cant find...and its cheapWink [;)]
