noel Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 There are two methods i know off Permanent and non-permanent I would cheat for the lack of a better word. When i do shows i would use a spray bottle on mist and dust the model lightly in water then get a handful of fine soil (taken from the likes of a power harrow or land leveler) and blow it over the model. Check out Holy Loves Toys website, Mandy sell spray on dirt, looks the part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 taymania do some pigments which are good, but whatever you do practise on a cheap model you dont really like to get a bit of pracitse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philiprutland Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Just have a play, and don't be afraid, and have a total disrespect of costly models I have to confess that it was seeing your website (through model farmer mag) that inspired me i thought it was original to use smaller individual diorama's rather than a larger scale set up. As much as i would love to have an extensive layout i simply do not have the room so would like to create some diorama's in your style. Are there any specific materials or techniques that you could pass on to me. ((don't worry my models are purely for my own pleasue (& my wife's annoyance) so i wouldn't be taking any of your business) besides which there is no way in a million years that my attempts will be anywhere as good as yours!!!!
