This will break up the spray as it harden and rid of any clumps. When it dries, run through the mat with a comb, again. In my case, the wind seems to only start up exactly when I start to paint. The same goes with spraying on windy days. Otherwise, only one side is going to get the color and you will go through more spray paint. Before you spray, run the comb through out the fur. If you go with the spray paint option for quick large areas, spray about 6" to 8" out. You may have to run through the comb a few more times for this spray paint type. *Important thing to know about spray paint types, satin and gloss dry different and take longer. You can do the whole project in spray only like how I first started working with teddy bear fur. For whatever reason, it comes out yellow on fur, but not on anything else. In this case, I used a Gloss Citrus Green for this mat. I use mainly flat and satin for color shades. I do not have an airbrush, so I use the normal spray paint you get from the paint department.

There is spray painting it and hand painting. When I paint the mat, there are two ways to go about it. You are going to see how I jumped around on steps just based on the roads. Gloss can be used, but only with bright colors. I went out a bought a $30.00 Wahl one used for dog grooming. If you have one already that you use for your hair, don't use that one. This will show you how your paint ideas work out before you apply it on the real deal.Ģ. Also, have a smaller piece to experiment with. If you don't have a plan in advance, make one! Otherwise, this project won't be as much fun. I am thinking of working with white for a snow board. I tend to use a medium brown, but you can choose other colors. So, on to the shopping list! This is a break down of what I used for the example mat. The main issues that remain with this project are the fact that it is time consuming, and it will be slightly messy.

I have seen several websites that can teach you how to work with Teddy Bear Fur, but there are a lot of different ways of executing this job without having to buy an airbrush and other things.

I have been making a few of these recently and figured I could show you all how I go about the process.

Continuing My Green Thumb: Making Trees Results.Making a Teddy Bear Fur Terrain Mat: My Version.I used a lot of Noch leaves for several terrain pieces. In this set up, we will be using Flocking leaves from a company called Noch. And last and most important is the flocking. The third is a spray can of 3M mat spray adhesive or Locotite material. I used coconut linear, because it is cheap and easy to find. This can also be Horse hair or blended scrubbing brushes. The pictures involved in this post show about a foot long on average. I like everything to be 12" or less in size. The first are 2 x 2 thick pieces of wood cut into various pieces. But, if you would like a simple way for hedgerows, here it is!įor my projects on hedgerows, I start with several materials. At the moment, I plan on recreating new bocage for my future war gaming ventures. After gaining an interest in World War II in 28mm, I realized that to field such places as Normandy, you have to have Hedgerows or Bocage on your tabletop.
