Hiya all!
@DaveF:
The road is painted with a standard paint (anthracite) and a brush. We didn?t use primer, but some elements required two layers of color. The grip is ok and you can really feel a difference between hard and soft tires.
And the grass? Well, first of all we glued wrinkled napkins to the ground and painted it dark green. Then we sprayed two different shades of green (a grass-like green and a yellowish green) from an about 45? angle onto the wet paint. By doing this, you still keep the dark green shadows behind the wrinkles, and get different light green highlights on top of the wrinkles.
We?re currently workling on two new elements, including a lot of making-of pictures, that should clarify the paint steps a bit.
Greetings!
