River Pieces - the Pictures!

Well folks, a bit later than I thought, but here are some pics of the first of the new river sections. While there are other rivers out there, I can say that these are solid flex resin, and not flimsy latex. Pricing is not completed yet, but I'm sure these will follow all F.S.S. products in being as cheap as I can make and sell them for.

In these pictures we have the piece with just a light dry-brushing of beige on the river banks, the rocks are painted, and a bit of flocking. In one we have a Flames of War panzer to some idea of scale. The piece is 20cm long and 25mm wide at one end and is 40mm wide at the other, and is a transition piece.

July Update - River Sections Started!

G'day folks,

Over the previous few days I have done the molds for 9 different river sections in various widths, and have modeled another seven pieces. In total, I think there will be around 35 - 40 different pieces when I'm finished. In the R & D stage, I'm still working out how to get the rivers looking like rivers. The first pieces were just plain brown flex resin, then I experimented with pouring brown resin in the banks first, as they are the lowest point of the mold. Once dry, I then poured blue resin to simulate the water. Once taken from the mould, the first one looked very spiffy. A light buff dry brush on the banks and some dark gray on some rocks with a light gray dry brushing and it was finished. I will glue some flock to the banks also and take some pictures to post here.

If anyone wants to suggest any special river pieces, or ask about anything else, you can email me at: fss.glynn@gmail.com

Cheers until next time.
