I have decided
to leave this project for the moment as miniatures for a commission work have
arrived. The good news is I am pleased with the results, both chateau and vineyard
look very well together and all that is lacking is a bit of green atop the vines.
At the moment,
the vines are brown coloured and with a bit of white glue and flock in two
shades of green these would be done. Right now, this has the appearance of a vineyard
just before Spring. Adding some “ivy” to the walls of the Chateau will complete
the picture.
Strands of
twine have been washed to reduce the plastic coating and also “relax” the
tension of being rolled up. Rolling the twine between your fingers will loosen
the pieces.
The strands are
pressed onto the supports. Adding glue and bringing the twine nearer the top
will complete the effect.
Cheers,

This is a fine technique you use - bravo!
Do you think I could take that also in 40mm scale?
It looks really realistic.
Thank you for this post!!

The only difference I would suggest is the flock used for the grape leaf.
As my other projects are completed, I will continue with the vineyard tomorrow. I shall also add ivy to the chateau walls.
Now that I have a new camera as of today, I can take photos.
Cheers,
Robert
