A Bit 'O Brylcream


Have just plastered down the teddy bear hide with dilute PVA. It's still wet but definitely an improvement. Maybe Donald should try it with his syrup?

    John, looking good, once dry are you going to trim the edges for a more uniform look and perhaps add some flock sparingly for moss etc. At the moment it does still look Trumplike. Maybe test a magic wash of Devlan Mud? It works for everything else? So why not thatch...

    That looks quite effective. Agree it needs weathering a little. Looks too clean

    Try blow drying it for that classic 1980's wargame look.

    I used this technique lots - a trim at the bottom will help give it the layered look, but I never bothered with a drybrush.

    Here is my Church with a thatched roof, in which I really emphasised the layers

    Dear Mike
    Wouldn't that give it a DA?
