Hi all,
Tried a little technique that I picked up watching youTube (Geek Gaming, etc) videos that may help some with their basing. I use the tried and tested method of put down some PVA glue, sprinkle/dunk some flock, push it down and dry then add some extra decoration. But flock always falls off. So I decided to try something to stop this from happening whenI was making some 28mm terrain and thought I'd base some DBA 15s at the same time.
After you've finished your base get some isopropyl alcohol and watered down (50/50) PVA. Spray the base with the IPA then using a dropper, drip the PVA. The IPA breaks the surface tension and the PVA flows through and around everything! When dry it is translucent and rock hard. Holds flock, tiny stones, tiny twigs, lichen, static grass, etc. The IPA didn't seem to damage the paint at all.
So if you're like me and sick of bits of green dust everywhere you can give this a try. IPA is expensive but it doesn't take much so one spray bottle will last a long time.
Cheers
Jim
