Hey guys I'm such a noob!!!I dont think you can learn a lot with me
Thanx a lot for your nice comments
Let me try to explain it then:
The base started with a rectangle of plasticard! I then cutted a bit of styrofoam I had laying around and shaped it to create a lower part, were I would make the road, lefting a protuberant part (vertically) to create the wall work. The rocks are cat litter
I covered the base with some plaster, left it to dry a bit and started to had the rocks and shaping the road. The "grass" are tea leaves from those ready-to-make packages, like earl-grey and stuff
those taller bits are just dry grass I collected from the garden in front of my house...For the framming I used those straps of wood that are used to put around the wall in a room, like near the floor or somethin' , I dont know how's it called in english (baseboard??)..It comes in 6feet (2mtrs) straps that cost 3euros/dollars +/- and you just cut it as you want and paint it, just like if you were doing a picture frame..The paintjob was made by using some earth and green colors, using greys for the rocks...they were applyed randomly until I got a nice looking base that was finally covered with a raw umber wash.
I hope this helps! please, if you have any questions feel free to ask, like more specfic stuff or something..
this is the site that inspired me to do some quick and easy display bases:
