wouldn't that much glue sprayed over the turf make it hard and plastic like instead of looking like real grass as when you first put it down?

@724Christian it would look "plastic" if used a glue that dried to a glossy finish. The stuff I'm using dries to a matte finish.

I notice that people use a spray consisting of water and alcohol? What i gathered is that it deflects dust and reduces shine... Is this correct.. Are there any other uses for this spray?

@SuperDeRailed I've never tried using that combination so I couldn't say for sure.

love the videos!! I have been following them and have made a diorama for native americans that has a river carved out in it. I used the foam to created the scene but don't know what 1.) to use for water and 2.) if I can put the water diectly on the foam rivebed?? What would you suggest?

[thebige61]

I helped my kids make a diorama that had a beaver pond. The Pond was carved directly into the foam. I used Envirotex resin for the water.

Thanks for the series. I was surprised you didn't film the painting of the rocks after the base coat and the spackle, someday if you get a chance it would be great to see how you apply washes to get those nice color variations in the base rock layer.

I would like to make on of these to showcase my Lego, it doesn't have to be this detailed though, got any tips?
