Re: Sides of beef

Here's a picture taken from my old layout showing sides of beef. I use gloss red enamel over dry-brush white to represent the fatty tissue.

Re: Sides of beef

dknelson:

I'd go to the craft or hobby shop and buy some modeling clay.  Some red clay and some white clay, rolled into little logs, and then twisted and rolled together, cut to shape and perhaps sealed with some matte medium, should replicate the look of a side of beef without spending much money.

Here is a prototype photo from this website

Looks like dressed beef to me!
