A slowly growing Waaagh!

Almost tired of precision painting on lesser elements, yet i don't feel i could stand rushing things up.
I've already given some plants from earthwork scenics a try...can't wait to dress the base up properly

I tried a new approach to the amanita's dots in order to make them 3dimensional, just like the real things, and sculpted some parasol/drumstick mushrooms.

Those are proper nice.

Pray do share the amanita secret?

Pray do share the amanita secret?

Once painted the mushroom, i put a big drop of satin varnish on it and sand a resin/plaster bit from above:the varnish captures some of the tiny white bits and if you're lucky enough it's done. In case the bits are too big or their pattern is not convincing, you can still make some adjustments with a brush and/or have another go.

Thanks, they look great!

Lovely. I think I should put more effort into my DIY mushrooms in the future, most of those on my bases are various resin ones I've got knocking around, but whenever I have some left over green stuff I roll it into a cone like shape and pop it on a spare bit of brass wire for future planting! Thinking maybe I should do a little more sculpting on them now.

Anyhow your mushroom technics are resulting in some fabulous fungi.
