Hi guys. It's been a very long time since I've updated this thread, but I have still been working on the project in the meantime. The base is now nearing completion. The height was built up with styrofoam, and the ground was shaped with plaster before having Mig & Tamiya texture paint applied to simulated sand/grit. Then I used woodland scenics ballast for the small rocks. The base colour is Vallejo Desert Tan, with various AK & Mig filters to give it soem variety. Finally, I added grass from Mini-natur and flock which was sprayed in various shades of green.
The cliff is a plaster casting using a mould from Woodland scenics. I cut up the casting and reshaped it to fit the available space. The joins were filled with filler and scribed to match the surrounding rocks. Finally I've been building up the water in thin layers for the stream and larger river at the base of the rocks. Enough talking!
It's a bit to big for my usual photo area & background so the pictures were taken on my bed rather hastily. I'll post some better ones with the vehicles in position when I can. Let me know what you think!
Cheers
