DavicusPrime Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 So I've been trying to improve on my speed and technique for making some basic terrain I might be able to sell on ebay... Here's the latest batch. 2 Rock formations and a swamp shack and tree. Normally, I just use painted foam for my rocks but I've been trying to increase the sturdiness. This batch I coated the foam with an air dry clay. Only problem is that the clay shrank as it dried so I had lots of cracking. the white you see there is gap filler to get rid of them. The tree is polymer clay over a wire armature. When it's done, it'll have woodland scenics foliage clumps to top it off. the shack and platform are my usual craft sticks with wood grain drawn on via ballpoint pen over a foamcore frame. Here's a closer pic of the swam shack piece: hopefully I'll be able to get some paint on 'em by next week so I can show y'all how they look. -DavicusPrime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhampir Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Rather than clay, use a sparkle/polyfil as it has very little (less than 1%) shrinkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmod Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'd buy the tree/shack... Lovely stuff!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscilioth Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 That shack looks painstaking! Really awesome, but painstaking! How long does it take you to pen in all the wood grain? Tree is looking pretty nice too, will look good with all the foliage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
