Dunbrough and Gripenhem WIP log

Lots of layers. Its going to be fairly amazing though.

Woodland scenics sounds like the safe way to go. I had some success with ENvirotex lite, though. While still having to add layers, the can be somewhat thicker than the woodland ones. And I belive the price is better? Your waterfall looks fine, and will look fabolous after it is thoroughly dried and transparent.

Working on waterfalls and townsfolk. Town Watch to be specific.
I'm getting anxious to finish, this water is taking forever.

Water effects do take time, AND you cant't rush the process. It does look WONDERFUL though.  
The Town Watch look SPLENDID as well. OUTSTANDING WORK!  

WoW!!!

Well everything looks just fantastic

It may be taking ages, but the effect looks fantastic!

If I didn't know any better, I would be completely fooled into thinking that's a real– life scene photographed by a naturalist.  It really is that good.

Ahoy, thank you!

Texturing the water with Woodland Scenics Water Effects, and an old 2″ paint brush to stipple it.

Great!!

I know I posted a reply earlier & now it's gone...it's spooky here at Tom's.  
Be that as it may, the water effect is WONDERFULLY realistic. BEAUTIFULLY WELL DONE!  

The addition of the water effects really brings the realism of the water up a notch. Are you planning on adding anything else, or will the water be done once you've finished adding them?

OH BABY!

Even if you didn't ask for one. Man, that is amazingly realistic. Wonderful work.

Thank you for saying that. I was starting to think the beers I had over the last couple of years finally started messing with my head, because I thought I had posted something.

What I was saying earlier: please keep up your work, I really enjoy beholding your work every time you post something new!

Well, the stuff cures clear, so I will have to go back and carefully paint a lot of water white. But yeah, waves and ripples and water will be done, I can move onto growing things.

Ah, I was under the impression that the water effects dried white. I look forward to seeing more then.

That is a truly excellent water effect. Very impressive.

It would be easier if it did, because I'm going to go right back and paint it white. It would cut a step.

Growing a small forest of furnace filter trees for Gripenhem. I’m realizing that I’ll need a large small forest of furnace filter trees to finish the project out.

Great set of trees. Fantastic work...

Et tu Theomar?

Its starting to look positively arboreal around here

Excellent trees.

Trees are THE IN thing this season...those are BEAUTIES. GREAT WORK!  

Great trees theo, the furnace cleaner style has a lot of possibilities , fantastic job sir!
Looks like we two are going to force tom to soon rename this website into " Toms boring empire in flames forum"

Looking forward to your forest!
Think i will need a lot of trees more, cause to get the real dense forest feeling there have to be a lot of those , think you know exactly what iam talking about, so, on to more trees!

The main problem with dense forest is that it is VERY difficult to maneuver miniatures without knocking over the trees.

Gripenhem forestation update.
The trees for this bank are pretty much done, there are about 20 or so. I’ll need to spin the model again so that I can start doing the other side. Still lots and lots of trees to make, but it is closing fast. Probably another 20 or so to go.
