FIVE MINUTES FRIDAY 001 - Basic Groundcover

Did you ever wonder how to create a real looking ground cover? Im this 5 Minutes Friday is about how I do the basic ground cover on my layout. But it can be used on a diorama, a gameboard or whatever you model. This is the first video in the 5 Minutes Friday range, we start painting in the next one! Stay tuned, don't forget to like and subscribe!

I'm trying to do something like this, but for a battle scene, any advice??

[@narwalbds5242]

Hello Martin, good plan; Five Five Minutes Friday! New series with tips & tricks from Twente. I'm gonna follow this. When I've a question I let you know. Groet'n ut Twente!

[@scuba6663]

It’s not that hard!!

[@scuba6663]

It’s not that hard!

[@the-trojan]

glad to see this! Short! to the point! non repetitive! When a video is too long and repetitve i bail out.

[@matthewevans3718]

How much isopropyl do u put in the mix of modge and water that u spray on?? I just did like idk 1/20th or less I’d guess. Worked fine except like 5 times surface tension on a spray would bead up and not sink nice Does that mean add more? I’m assuming

[@MartinWelbergScenicStudios]

Hi Matthew, please don't add isopropanol to the modgepodge mix. I spray it on the surface before adding the scenic mix. 1 to 3 parts water will do the trick.

[@samflocks3047]

Great Loved how rough the ground looks....Like the area I model

[@ratled1]

Thanks Martin! Love your products, Love your work! Thanks for taking the time on the videos. This one is timely as I try to work on my basic ground cover the last couple of weeks. Running to the store for kits ty litter. If you need video topics I would watch you do trees Thanks again

[@patmccarthy1624]

Pretty simple. Start with the dirt. Thanks, Martin - can't wait till next Friday!

[@mr.bandit251]

Martin, as you said: "Easy!" ...and good explained! ... - but your background music is a little bit too loud...

[@MartinWelbergScenicStudios]

Thanks, thought I had it ok but every comment will make better videos

[@19scamps92]

Martin thank you so much for sharing with us! This is a fantastic concept with the 5 minute friday show! I really enjoy it and it motivates me very much to start somethig own like a modul

[@MartinWelbergScenicStudios]

In a coffee grinder. Sorry forgot to mention.

Ik reageer later wel Martin. Nu even geen tijd voor internet. Mazzel kerel.

[@gloriawilson3241]

Great but leave the music out please.

[@robertdix1441]

I am inspired by the no fear approach Martin!

[@bobainsworth5057]

Good start and nice touch thanking your mom for your coffee.

[@adcleijsen5259]

Dat is wat anders dan de vrimibo. Mooi om te volgen Martin, fases waar ik nu in zit.

[@cincinnatiwest8988]

Great video. What kind of kitty litter do you use? The Cat's Pride kaolin that I found has multi-colored pieces that wouldn't look right. Thanks!

[@MartinWelbergScenicStudios]

Hi, dunno exactly what brands are available over the pond but when I search and go to a page like Petsmart I should say something like Purina Tidy Cats or Great Choice Classic Clay, non-clumping clay products.

[@TheJohanvdijk]

Martin, can you tell howto color the kitty litter and what color do you use?

[@MartinWelbergScenicStudios]

Check the paint your dirt video.

[@cheryltadman]

what do you use to mix with the kitty litter

[@MartinWelbergScenicStudios]

Pigments, tilegrout, fine turf.

[@AroundTheLayout]

Interesting. When's the next one?

[@MartinWelbergScenicStudios]

This Friday 18.00 CET

[@rvanrees]

Nicely done. Techniques like this are best demonstrated in a video: it is the only way to make clear that "it is not that hard". Just show it so that others will try and "just do it"?

[@gerdeguelle1967]

Nice and clear video am curious what's coming up next week

[@cllines604]
