Progress thus far on the arbite's base. Plasticard, Putty, and Patience are the materials used...okay, there is some of my gravel mix on there too.Once the epoxy putty hardens, I'll sand it smooth and hopefully the end product is a sidewalk section with a curb edging out some sort of planter in an Imperial City square...or something.
I'll probably add some spots of gravel on the pavers to give it a more "urban battle" look.
For asphalt, try gluing down a piece of sandpaper, sand side up. Experiment with the grit size you like. Paint, wash, and drybrush. -Brad
ReplyDeleteMight have to give that a whirl on the next base...I have 4 more to go so some variety will be awesome. Now if only I could find some textured scrapbooking paper with treadplate or something like that on it.
ReplyDeleteHere are some treadplate options. Comes in all different sizes and patterns. Its thin photo-etch brass, but its not difficult to work with.

You can also try Archer Transfers. This product is fine resin on a decal sheet. It may or not be a pattern you are looking for though. Archer has great products and markings that I use all the time.
