Just got back from the poundshop, superglue in hand, they've finally got some facemasks back in, woo hoo! 99p shop tomorrow they've got a better selection of fittings.<br />Cheap spray paint now, i don't think the £1shop hammerite copy will cut it,although i could cover the rust spots on the car, another story.<br />Pipe cleaners and clump foliage = check.<br />Cheers Lee.TThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864634690185960352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-5493756568424173982011-03-29T15:14:18.215+01:002011-03-29T15:14:18.215+01:00Wow, they look great!

They were much bigger than regular pipe cleaners at about 30cmm long, with long hair on them. I cut the pipe cleaner into three equal lengths to make three armatures from each. <br /><br />Your right, I wrapped the around the base of the Nut. I put the nut in the centre of the 10cm lengths of pipe cleaner and twisted both ends round leaving two 'tails'. I then added a drop of glue where the pipe cleaner touched the nut. Once this had dried I twisted the two ‘tails’ into one column and this formed the armature on which to glue the clump foliage.<br /><br />You can use shorter haired cleaners but I think the long haired version gives the foliage more surface area to glue to.BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-70807689013910368332011-03-25T01:48:31.181+00:002011-03-25T01:48:31.181+00:00Hey, BigLee.

I'm guessing that you wrapped the pipe cleaner around the nut at the base and then brought it up to the desired height and then bent it back down to the base again?

Lol. I admi...I tried hot glue but burned my finger! Lol. I admit my version, with superglue and fumes, is probably very unwise. But I'm not a very patient person! Also I found the whole model ends up harder and more resilient when soaked in superglue. <br /><br />I also tried papier mache but these took ages to dry. Also I didn't think they looked as nice as the clump foliage versions. <br /><br />I also had a go at the Acrylic wool method but again I just couldn't get them to dry quickly. I even resorted (unbeknown to my wife) to putting them on the Bread Shelf above the boiler because its always warm there. Still took over 48 hours to dry properly!BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-73308401902920775102011-03-23T18:42:32.109+00:002011-03-23T18:42:32.109+00:00Very nice.
