Friends,

after a severe attack of The Modelers Blues I took the brush at hand again.... and I decided to continue on my Splash Campaign Dio..."The Frome Bridge"....

I worked on the ivy on the bridge and it came out quite nice. I'll do an article on making ivy on short notice, but I'm afraid I can't do it within the next two weeks...

Here's the result of my afternoon with a brush in my hand....

Oh man, that is sweet. Actually reminds me of some kudzu growing not far from here near a bridge.

Dito!
Great to see you got your socks on again. Looking forward to seeing this go the whole way and also that ivy report. Ive thought about that a few times, but have always put it off. As you´ve done it so well, think I can wait for a while again and read the article first. Good luck!

Guys,

thanks for your positive reactions.

Danmo,

The water is made of....paint.... just two colours with a layer of hight gloss varnish. That's all.

Jan,

I think you have problems with the AZERTY or QUERTY settings of your keyboard, but the message is understood

Ha !

Danny, I was in Portugal and Spain for a few weeks, and checked the site from an internet café. They have these gruesome keyboards, even worse than Qwerty ! SInce I"m used to typing blind on Azerty keyboards...

When can we expect your article on how to make the foliage ?
