1. We will use the material seen on the photo

2. There are two sticky material in Epoxy Putty. We cut 2 equal pieces

3.Then pour some powder on the place we will work. We put the pieces in this powder, and blend until the two color mix together

4. We lay the mixed putty in the powder. In this stage we had to use powder while rolling out putty. If we dont the putty will get sticky.

5. After rolling out the putty, we cut pieces. While cutting, we have to be careful. We have to be slowly. Little, soft touches. Otherwise the putty will get deformed

6. To shape the putty, use toothpick, tweezers etc. If the blanket will be wraped on the vehicle , put cling film between the vehicle and putty, give shape and color after it dried.

How to make a simple base with Tamiya Texture Paint (by Erhan)

Hi dear friends,

Im trying different technics for making base to my show cases. This time, I will use a Tamiya product, Tamiya texture paint is a product to make soil surfaces. Its good for me, its very light. I dont want to make my cases heavy with sand and plaster. And I dont want too much height, this is another cause I prefer this product. If you want to know how big its 100 ml can, this photo will help you

This is the surface ı would cover

I masked the edge of the surface to get a better view

It is gritty and wet, like wet sand, but sure its more thin than sand

I tried to bleach its color and ı used vallejo light mud. I mixed both of them, it didnt decolor much ( Maybe its not enough for that ) but it helped me to cover the surface easier

I covered the surface by sloopy

I did a revision and wait for dry

After it dried enough a beautiful texture occured. I want to make some color performance for breaking up the monotony. Just work with brush...

I started using static grass. First work with bottle cap, then use on surface.

Here is the result. Maybe some revisions can be try, but its enough for me. I love this product.
