Hi all,
Today I'd like to show you, how to craft simple stuff to spice up your terrain.
Did you take a walk on new year's eve, too, doing something for the environment and collect all those sticks from rockets?
Well, then you've got something to do with them. Here I', going to show you, how to build some real fancy fences.
What you need: 2 sticks, some coffee stirrers, some bases, glue, sand.
Start by cutting the sticks into pieces of roughly 2cm (that's 4/5th of an inch). Those are your poles. You will need 3 poles for each piece of a fence.
Sand down one side of a pole.
Make sure, it is flat - as this is the part you will be glueing onto the bases.
Just like this: Cover the entire base with glue, add the pole.
Then cover the base with sand.
Now go for the coffee stirrers. Start by cutting off the edges:
Glue 2 stirrers to 3 poles each:
Now go for the "I am too lazy to paint" method and use some brown spray to basecoat everything:
Get some colour. On this photo it is barely recognizable, but those colours are actually a gray and a white colour:
Drybrush the sand on the bases, first with gray, then with white. (Note: for a more rocky/sandy look, you may want to go for a stonegray first and bleached bone second.)
If you want to, you can now add some static grass to the bases.
That's it!
Quick and easy builds.
Here an inspiration as for what you may want to use the fences for:
And if you've got leftovers, you may as well craft some signposts, while you're at it:
