Thanks for the extra pics. I did see it first time around but these make it look even more impressive.

I'd tried green food dye before for grass with sawdust after seeing it demo'd on a wargaming site. We used it on one of Junior's school projects. It served to work really well at first but over time it's lost almost all it's colour....

Again truly great work.

Thanks ,Interesting that you say that Andrew, I thought food colour would work as well. When I tried to spray the ferns It didn't look right as the paint seemed to cling in droplets.

It was a real shame. Very cheap and you could create an almost endless palette of different greens just by changing the ratio of colour to sawdust.....at the time I had dreams of creating lots of terrain and needing lots of flock, so I ended up buying three different greens of a particular brand of clothes dye as I figured it would have more 'bite'. IIRC it comes 'neat' and has to be diluted so I can create almost limitless amounts. They probably work best as a blend. I'll let you work out whether or not I've ended up using it as much as I thought......

I always thought food colouring was made biodegradable therefore edible. Perhaps that's why the colour fades with time. Or perhaps its water soluble and the colouring evaporates with the humidity.

That's a good point Richard, maybe ink would be better, the water soluble one.
