Nekima - Part V

Pinup for Kurt Wagner.

Nekima is finished, based, and varnished.

The base was quite easy in the end, and like all good bases it was just playing around to see what worked. The grass is Scorched Grass from Games Workshop, which despite the name works quite well to give an impression of fields of normal grass. The trick behind it is that the it's not a uniform green; shades of brown and gold give it some extra depth.

Originally I had painted the base, not knowing quite how much the flock would cover it. That step wouldn't be needed in future if so much is going to be applied.

I won't go into exact details of everything, but the small note that I did figure out is to add some flock to the rocks, because they've probably been there for some time and plant life will find purchase wherever it can in such circumstances. Also, once the PVA glue was dry, some small amount of Agrax Earthshade over the grass on the rocks helps to tie it in a bit more.

One must wonder who her tailor is.

The original plan was to add some tufts of grass, or shrubs, but the flock works so well that I just don't feel the need. I could work on the little stream some more, but motivation is moving on to other models, so I'll just leave it be.

Overall, a fun model, and fun to try something different.
