F-P if you want to remove that resin glue just use a hair dryer it should soften up the glue and it's easy to remove then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallclaas Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Started the hedges and trees this week. Found a cheap way to make trees just walk the hedges and keep your eyes open for twigs and branches that look like trees in 1/32 here's my first efforts. The trees have moss and lichens already stuck on them so I have just to add the foliage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'm making the ditch banks from expandable foam, just spray it on and after a few hours cut the foam down to size. I'll cover the foam with plasters skim coat to make up the banks and add the foliage. The foam is great for making up volume for lumps and bumps.

SPN Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Expandable foam you only man How do you stop the foam coagulating in the nozzle? Any time I've used it I've had to use it all in one go because if I left it for any period of time the nozzle would get gunged up. S: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
