So as part of my Dark Ages project I decided I needed a few buildings, and unfortunately Dark Ages buildings means the one thing I have always hated trying to model: thatching.
I was thinking that maybe teddy bear fur would be the best option, but a quick online search lead me to Hour of Wolves, where the author does an opinion piece on different techniques for success and seems to come down on the side of using towel cut into strips. I have used the towel method, but never in strips, so maybe this is the way forward.
Time to go buy a cheap towel with a decent pile.

The building looks very cool and I’ll be interested to see how the thatching works out. 🙂

Pete,
I was pretty much decided to go the towel route, your tick in its favour helped decide it fully.
Thanks.

I’ll be watching with interest, since I have some thatched buildings to do! 🙂 Better you find any pitfalls in the method than me! 😉

Which is exactly the reason I did a blog stalk and went down the google rabbit hole…hoping someone else had done the hard lifting and I could learn a little from their mistakes.
