Or an orignial one - hehe - I responded to a post 2 days ago tellin ppl what companies to buy it from - how it worked and what colours to paint it =) This one isn't even in the archives - its like 3 days old I think =) Good that ya thought of it tho - proves yer on the right track.
Flock on antlers?It would lay to flat,how are you going to get that fluffy velvet look that way?You must have something I have not heard about yet,please tell me about it,always looking for new techniqes!
Seriously - someone else was askign about velevet for antlers jsut a few posts ago - I forget what it was called. You can order 'static grass' or 'static flock' from "Games Workshop" although it is only offerred in bright green and needs painting... or from the hjobby train scenery company "Woodland Scenics" who offer it in many colours including various browns and tans. Spary adhesive - flock - blow on it and the static generated makes it stand and go fluffy. airbrush to the right colur. Spraya dhesive and repeat process. Keep repeating until you have the desired thickness.
On the 18th in the gameheads category titled AAAAAAHHHHHH! Guess it makes sense that ya didnt know the discussion was had - the author of the post shoudl really follow the rules and make a title appropriate to the context of the post. They expressly say dont call something "HELP" so Im not sure why the author thought "AAAAHHHH!" Was deemed appropriate ;) In any event - there ya go =)
thanks for the info ,even after 20 years in this business you dont know everything!never heard about static flock,I will have to look into that when I have the time!
