Creepy Forest - TerrainFest 2025 entry
Boulder & Bushes pt2
The next step was to add sand and gravel to the bases. I painted on water-down PVA (50/50) sprinkled on the bits of gravel first, then the sand.
Then, on to the flocking.
I find that the key to selling natural looking terrain is have lots of variance in colours and textures.
I started with a Woodland Scenics – Burnt Grass fine flocking. Using watered-down (50/50) PVA, I added the flocking to cracks and crevasses in the rocks and then in uneven patches on the base.
At this point, I realized that the rocks were still too monochrome gray. So I dry-brushed on some browns and tans. And then I used a sponge to dab on some light tan spots.
Next I used the watered down PVA to add patches of my ‘dirty mix’. Basically, it’s a tub containing the leftovers of flocking, static grass, herbs, crushed leaves, etc. It introduces some nice variety.
