Problem is glueing the models to the bases after doing this!

[@PainterIdeas]

Impecável!

👍👍 Subbed! Only question I have is why PVA to glue the grass down instead of superglue?

[@GamersGrass]

Hello Tim! Super glue is usually more expensive and comes in less quantities. It is also easier to find a PVA glue that doesn't leave both a reflective mark on the surface or strange blobs. Plus we think its way faster to place the tufts since you won't have to handle the (rapid drying) super glue stick as many times. Thank you for the sub!

With all the grass how do you attach the models? Would it be best to attach the models before the grass goes on?

[@GamersGrass]

Hello David! Thanks for reaching out! That is a good question! Many times it depends on the model itself if you glue it to the base beforehand. We usually prefer to glue it first, if the model has a difficult stance to glue, if it's too heavy, or if your aim is to use plastic glue to attach it (which requires gluing it directly to the base surface, thus making the base itself afterwards, textures and all). In these cases you can make the bases, even paint them with the model already there, and also to put the tufts wherever you like. The easiest way to attach a model to an already painted base is to use super glue! Just glue them directly on top the tufts even! It makes the impression that the model is smashing the tuft a bit. We hope this helps! :)

Hello, very cool video, how to fix the pigment ?

[@GamersGrass]

Hello! Thank you for commenting! If you feel the need to fix them, you can use some pigment fixer products from any paints brand that works for you. For example you also have airbrush pigment fixers that could be easier to apply. Another alternative is to a apply an airbrush (or spray) varnish over the bases surface, that will also fix them in place. Bear in mind that applying fixers or varnishes can somewhat reduce the amount of the pigment effect in the end, so we tend to apply a bit more pigment in this case :) Thanks again! and Happy creations!

Thank you for this awesome tutorial! When I cut and sand the temple pieces I notice there is a very strong smell that gives me a headache and gives me a cough. Is this something we are not supposed to do?

[@GamersGrass]

Hi! You should always use a protection mask if you are going to sand any resin bit to avoid inhaling any dust/particles. Some people are more sensitive to resin than others. Happy basing!

[@mrfriedpickle7495]

@@GamersGrass Thank you. What super glue are you using in many of your videos? It's very funny almost like water while min is more of a gel

[@CoachCorwin]

Please tell the paint used.

[@GamersGrass]

Hello Corwin! Thank you for reaching out! In the video we used various acrylic paints and pigments from "Vallejo" and a wash paint from "Citadel". We also used the yellow pigment from "Sennelier". The spray primer is from "Fosco". As for the colors themselves, you can use similar ones, even with slight variations, the outcome will be the same. We hope this information helps.

[@Bajjus]
