Heres my latest progress on my North African DAK dio. Mixed up and placed the basic ground work today. Used celluclay and kittylitter mix. then I added some white glue and sand to the goop. After the basic groundwork was down I added the rubble for the destroyed balcony on the building. The first shot is after the celluclay was down. The other two shows the basic layout of the dio. It will take about a week for the ground work to dry enough to paint. Projected completion date is around the Christmas holidays. I will keep you updated

Looks good- when I was in Morroco and Egypt i noticed the yellow to orange (rust) tint to everything the sand is very fine almost like a dust . Thought I would share that - this pic is how I remember Morroco-

As usual with all your works, this is very beautiful.

Can you teach me how you built the building?
