I love the way the Venom has shaped up and I'm intrigued by the base. A gate guard perhaps?

Thanks Dazzled! yes a gate guard but a forgotten one and a bit erm ... well you will see in the end

The base is looking nicely overgrown and neglected.

Your grass and weeds are very good What do you use?

[TobyC]

That's incredibly lifelike

Thanks folks!

Your grass and weeds are very good What do you use?

well the gras is static gras which I apply with a modified electronical fly catcher (llok here: http://www.bahn87.de/gras-master; - its all German but the pics speak for themselfs). The other green stuff are different moss from the woods and garden and hemp. This hemp in old days was used to caulk water pipe connections. When all that is arranged it'll painted with different yellow, orange, greens and browns.

But that is not finished yet, the "green" garbage like leaves and such and the human garbage like cans, paper and bottles are still missing.

Thanks a lot smilzo_mm!

Well, it's not the wall, I'm waiting for some inspiration for painting it. But the Venom is completely painted, now it's time to get it dirty and missused




and I started a bicycle

That's a great looking Venom there Martin. Is the bicycle being scratchbuilt or is it a kit?

Thanks SaunW! Well the box of the Venom is telling approx. 1/48 so I'll most probably declare it approx. 1/48 in the end
