Chubber Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Every now and then someone reinvents the wheel and very few come up with something original and as ingenious as this.

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted January 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2015 Nice simple idea there Neil! I've been wanting to make some buddleia, but can't find the correct shade scatter, but may have more chance with a crayon. Unfortunately my son is far too old for crayons now, so wil need to make a visit to the craft store or supermarket! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

class"66" Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 This time ive realy "built up" the layers of static grass, by over spraying the top of the grassed area with air brush and light matt brown paint. Then more lush green grass added. Topped with patches of wild flowers... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
