Here's a little piece that I knocked out, depicting some Perry Northern Militiamen firing behind a rail fence. The kneeling guy is an Old Glory figure with a KMM head. I wanted to experiment with some tall grass patches and some vines.
All of the terrain was made by me, including the fence, which I made by taking a Lemax fence apart and re-configuring it. I cut slices into the planks to make it look more realistic. I used several different ink stains to get the color I wanted.
The groundwork was my usual mixture of bulls balls, frog butts and chicken lips.
I made the tree from a sagebrush twig.
The tall grass was made by spreading tacky glue on the places where I wanted the tall grass to appear. I use the fly swatter gizmo to make the grass. Several passes needed here. I started off with 10 mm and made my way down to 6 mm in successive passes.
The vines are model RR vines, that I cut up dipped in super glue and wrapped around the fence with tweezers. A nice effect, I think.
Figures painted by the wonderfully talented, Mr. John Bryant.
By the way, notice how much bigger these figures are compared to the early Perry sculpts. Scale Creep indeed!!
