Had this piece in my stash for what seems like ages and decided to throw some paint at it.

It's a single 6" x 9" (15.2 cm x 22.9 cm) resin piece. I started by giving it a coat of Tamiya Grey Surface Primer via a rattle can. I then used a dark grey via an AB to 'colour' the cobbles - varying the amount of paint to graduate the grey. Tamiya flat earth was used to prep the dirt areas.
I then applied various washes and filters and added grass matting. I only had a 'summer' grass in my stash so sprayed it a greener shade to better represent autumn/winter. Finally, I added some pigments to represent dirt etc.





Still need to paint the base sides.

Looks great, I am a little surprised given your other works you didn't build that from scratch.

That's a pretty good reason.

Now the bigger question, which your many great projects will this be paired with?

Steve of Celtic works produces the resin base, I believe.

Ryan - haven't decided yet. Was thinking of a Mk.A Whippet but the base is too uneven for the vehicle to sit on it properly. May have to build something specitic
