- I show how I make swamp/wetland scatter terrain for my wargaming table using faux fur. Had some audio issues when recording, so I apologize that the audio isn't up to the usual quality!

Used a number of elements from this tutorial to make a boggy pond, thanks for an inventive tutorial with a refine final product.
I've heard of using fur for terrain but could never find a good tutorial for it. Thanks so much for this, I think it looks awesome and realistic! You did not mention it, but the dark undertone of the original fur colour gives it an amazing muddy look.
Thanks! I think the brown fur did work well with the swamp theme, but golden fur has been my go to for grasslands recently...get a really amber waves of grain feel to your board.
Thank you for this, I have been looking for something to do my swamp diorama with and I was really struggling. Saw this tutorial and I’m so happy.
Just watched this again. Planning on a BIG swap/wetlands project. This is an awesome technique and will using it this weekend as a weekend project. Thanks again for a great vid!
I have say Baron you did an outstanding job of recreating a swamp. The overall color scheme of the water looks very realistic and the whole model has the look and feel of a swamp. I learned quite a bit about coloring grass and adding clear resin. I am looking forward to your next tutorial.
This is absolutely incredible! Your work is amazing. Well done sir, well done!
Great job! The idea with that fur is absolute madness!!! It looks like real grass! I think i would try for the first time to build some terrain. Thank you for your videos and tips!
You are most welcome. Faux fur is amazing I keep trying to find new ways to incorporate it into nearly every project.
Awesome idea and explanation. Looks fantastic!
Appreciate it!
The whole project looks wonderful (well done!), but I especially love that paint-and-comb technique for the fur. Wow... that looks amazing, and so realistic! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! :)
Glad you liked it! Picked up the comb trick off of a blog, had used regular stiff bristle brushes before and it took forever to blend the stuff.
Masterfully done, sir!
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Great way to simulate a swamp using the fur.
cheers JOhn
Thanks!
Very awesome, indeed! Unfortunately I am modeling in 10mm & 15mm: so, I will need to find some shorter fur!!
You could even use fleece at the scale and it would look great!
Another well done vid very ingenious. I've been mentioning you in comments hope some people come your way and check out your channel and subscribe. You are doing very unique things and I hope people discover you.
I appreciate that immensely. Being a niche community, sharing is definitely the best way to get the word out. Thanks for supporting this channel!
Love the idea mate good job
Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial !
Appreciate it!
Awesome video my friend, I'm going to try and make this for my walking dead game
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
very cool tutorial mate. Gonna be trying this out. My rp group are in a swamp at the moment and this will come in handy ;-). thx for the inspiration.
Happy to be of service! I'm also using this technique to make some sunken ruins...I think that is going to turn out even better!
very good work, it seems real, I will follow you to see your next videos. Regards my friend
Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching!
Could you put the list of materials used? Loved the work!
Sure thing! Let me add it to the description
Thank you so much! Very impressive your work!
Great tutorial! How come the fur doesn't get all hard and sticky with the color?
It's the combing that gets rid of the clumps which causes it to dry stiff. If you don't comb enough that will be the result so I usually err on the side of over combing.
awesome terrain! what kind of airbrush do you have? I'm looking to get one to make my life easier but there are so many kinds :( I don't wanna end up buying a trash brush and compressor
Thanks! I was in the same position where I wanted to ensure I had quality materials so I sprung for the iwata eclipse hp-cs and the sparmax TC-2000 compressor. Both are expensive but if you are in the states you can get them from hobby lobby with their daily %40 coupon. I highly recommend them both!
Damnit! Faux fur! That is the hack I have been needing! Thanks for the info. New subscriber here.
Faux fur is great for so many applications, I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface!
How well do you think painting the fur would work if you didn't do the spray paint step and just went ahead with the direct paint?
You can definitely skip the spray paint. I often don’t use the spray paint anymore.
What separates faux fur from just fur?
Mostly it is synthetic and much cheaper. Also, not sure how well regular fur would take paint, but I'll have to give it a try with the real stuff some day.
If it's synthetic why did you say it's from a bear?
He said it's "faux fur" (which tells us it's fake/synthetic), and then by saying "grizzly bear fur" he's telling us exactly which type he's using for this project. Faux fur is not all the same. It can simulate many different types of real animal fur (a lot of which would not work for this type of project).
Oh. So he means the mat is trying to imitate bear fur. Got it. Thanks.
You're welcome. :)
I didn't like it at all
I LOVE IT
Did'nt like it, I love It!!!
Hah! Glad you enjoyed it!
Did you use matte or gloss mod podge
