Haystacks added

Now that I'm back from Holidays I did just a little thingi: Haystacks:

 Nevermind the figures... They were the first I ever painted with 13 years, and thats quite long ago ;)

Ok, so here's how it works:
Take some air-drying modelling clay (in this case EFAPlast)
Pick a fair amount of it:
Bring it roughly in the form you want and stick it onto something:
 Now dip it into water and use a hard, wet brush to poke it from underneath:
When done it looks like this. Let it dry for a day.

Painting: I used Vallejo Model Air (applied with a brush. Yes, such a waste...)
First Colour: Hemp.
Second: Hard Drybrushing with Ocre
Third: Inking with GW Ogryn Flesh ink
Fourth: Drybrushing with a Ocre, mixed with White (5/1).
Finally: Matte Medium.
Done!
Hope you like em!

Ah, one more thing. I heard it turned out that the blogspot-hit-counter was running wild. That seems to be why I experienced that massive growth of hits. Nevertheless you guys are still great! I'm feel glad to have this community of high-class modellers around! (Hmm female high class models would be even better...)

Cheers,
Mojo

  3. Little hint:

    Try using sharp tool (like utility knife), and make shallow vertical cuts around the heystacks in bottom 1/3 hight. Then make same thing in middle part, and last cuts on top 1/3. Remember that you have to doing this from bottom to top. It should look like a crop.
    On smaller haystacks you can make only single cutting from top to down.
    Then paint it yellow and add some brown/black wash. After this againg yellow drybrush and it's a finish :)

    Cheers
