Hey Les, I'm assuming that you used some local flora for your vegetation. As someone who has done that in the past too, can I suggest that you remove it, spray paint it liberally with flat clearcoat to keep the color and lock the small bits from falling off as they dehydrate. You might be happier in 6months having done so. Otherwise your vegetation camo will likely look more like drab twigs in the future.

 

[Heinz]

Good point Matt,


also from model railway knowledge you could use hair spray

 

[Matt308]

Yes!!!

 

[lesofprimus]

Its not real foliage guys.... Got a box of it at the hobby store for 14 bucks.... Total rip off but it looks frickin fantastic..

 

[Matt308]

In that case, nevermind!
