For this build I'm going to use two primary materials:
- Art Board (I bought 5 decent size sheets for £6.00 ($11.00 from my local art supply store, more than enough for 10 – 15 model projects)
- ¾ inch high density foam, this is a little more difficult to source, insulation material is made from this, however blue foam is just as good and can be bought direct from the internet, type in blue foam, or high density foam into the following Google search box to find a supplier near you.
The other products I use are
- PVA Glue (Hobby or art store, very cheap)
- Blackboard Black paint is the best, but any black paint will do.
- Hot wire cutter (Mine is a games workshop model)
- Games workshop fine grade flock.
- Modeling Mulch, A mixture of different grade of flock, sand and small rubble.
- Balsa Wood (Any hobby shop)
- Knife (Very sharp)
- GW Scorched Brown, for making the grass muddy)
- Shadow Gray (For first dry brush coat)
- Fortress Gray (For second dry brush coat)
- Skull White (For final highlight dry brush coat)
- Boltgun Metal (For the door and escape hatch)
- Resin plaster, plaster of Paris or reconstituted stone (Stocked at any hobby store)
That's it, once you have these product you will be able to make around 60_ of the models and structures included in the following tutorials and master classes. |
