[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Mythical Agyptian Palm Groves¶
The fronds were all of a single colour at this stage. The highlights I wanted to apply only after the fronds were mounted; so after gluing them in place I covered the rest of the models and bases with tissue.
I then sprayed a mid green and finally sparsely a light green.
To simulate the fibres often seen with palmes and to hide where the fronds connect to the stem, I used a plant liner made from coconut fibres.
I then clamped the fibres in place,
trying to cover as much as possible of the joints.
Finally I twisted the strands at the top. After drenching them with watered PVA glue and letting it dry, I cut them to shape.
For the pond, I applied 'still water' from Vallejo, but that dried quite dull. It is probably more suited to small puddles on bases than such large bodies of water. So finally I applied gloss varnish with a pipette in about a 2mm layer.
And here they are:
Remember the first post, where I planned the bases so they all fit into one box? Yeah, nice idea... unfortunately I did not consider the bulk of the trees which exceed the bases quite a bid. So in the end I had to use two boxes for storage.
