Si,I would never of thought to use Squishy up liquid with it or to thin it Down. I’ll definitely have to try that
Do you have a PVA of choice?
No I just use the big tubes from a craft shop.

Currently trying the ‘paint the lot with black primer’ painting technique….not sure how it’s goingI put little blobs of pva all over in a random pattern and all not at once, then take an applicator and sprinkle the long grass over the area. Then if I want some longer grass I cut it from a cheap paintbrush bought from the local diy shop. Once the whole area is covered then I get to work with first the base coat of black primer and once dry then start to colour the grass....
It really is the best method. Not only does it hide any glossy sheen that the PVA might leave but the majority of static grasses I have ever used also leave an unnatural sheen. You can’t really go wrong with applying all the groundworks then applying a black or dark earth coloured primer for a shadow base coat. There are a plethora of green grass coloured acrylics and it’s also simple to mix yellow and blues to get the perfect highlighted grass tones.Currently trying the ‘paint the lot with black primer’ painting technique….not sure how it’s going
That works well Lee…..looks really goodSi. here’s some better pics I use a paint roller or brush to apply View attachment 492781View attachment 492782View attachment 492783View attachment 492784View attachment 492785
I’d be more than happy to get a result like that…..very NiceIt should be ok. Choose different greens and randomly spray small areas working from light to dark colours.... once you have your grass colours you can then spray around the area with an earth/grey mix to cover any blank spaces.
Check out this part of my Centurion AVLB base that I have just finished, that might help you.

Well I think you've done very well indeed. Looks great.Interested to hear what you think
Hi Mike,Si, now that is really good, was the concrete/path a cork sheet to start? Well done.
Thanks very much gents.
If I’m honest I was just mimicking what Nightshift did in his video and listening to how you guys do it. So i won’t take credit…
Off sick watching youtube modelling videos all day! You poor old thing ….Good to read it’s nothing serious.Watched the video earlier today.... I'm off work sick.... Nothing serious..... And I have to say you've done a really great job of recreating his base.
Great work Si!!
