Greetings all
I've been starting to work with Woodland Scenics materials, and a couple of things have popped into my mind. It appears to me that their 'scenic cement' is awfully similar to artists matte medium, possibly with retarder added, and similarly, their turf color base may be nothing more, again, than artists acrylic olive green mixed with retarder and matte medium, which one then cuts with water. Or, as the thought in my weasly little brain continues, these products I just described should work just as well. Any good artist supply carries Grumbacher Liquitex products (probably the best quality stuff in that market) and the retarder and matte medium can be obtained in 1/2 or whole pint jars. Anyone had any experience using this stuff this way? In any event, I will experiment and post results.
