Topic: New Tatooine Dio - W.I.P

if  I could give you some advice......

I would sprinkle on the "dirt" then once you get solid coverage spray "dirt" with a 50/50 mix of water and white glue until the "dirt" is soaked and then let dry, or use Woodland Scenics Cement to stick the "dirt" down, it's a liquid already pre-mixed and ready for the spray bottle, if you rely on just the white glue smeared on the wood base you wont get a good, full, solid coverage...

If you had something else in mind tho, then forget what I just typed...

Thanks for the advice man...that's what I was going to do hahahahahaha  .  I'm an old model railroader from waaaaaaay back and used woodland scenic stuff all the time.  I've always used that 50/50 mix with landscape dioramas.  Works a treat.  It ways off yet once I get a second coat of the texture paste down and it dries and i'll see if I need a third then once that it all done i'll woodland scenic the base then start on covering the building in plaster bandage then texture paste then paint it then glue it down to the base and carefully fill in the gaps so it blends seamlessly into the base.

A little update on the building:  The hole this grid thing sits in will be more defined and neat when the building is covered in plaster bandage.

I have been keeping up with this build on fb but had to comment here on how awesome this looks! Your styrofoam pieces are perfectly shaped! Can't wait to see more progress!

Just marvelous!  I'm guessing this building will be the recipient of those "random machinery" greeblies you made in your other thread?

I love this more than anything I've seen in a while. Tatooine is my favorite planet, and your building is coming along brilliantly. I can't wait to see more, Luke!
