Andy... Heres those pics you were after.

The sculpting of the base is now complete other than a small plunge pool that leads into the stream. I decided to add stilts and crossed beams to the bridge to make it look a little stronger:weight1:. The "dint" above the bunker is from the explosion. I still haven't added any branches to the tree but they will come later on.

Onto another subject: PAINTING

Any ideas as to what colours, or mix of colours, make a good wet mud effect.

Any help Apreciated.

Thanks Tom.:granade:

Looking good Tom, well done, i must confess i know nothing about these things as far as paint goes. Take a look at Models2U - Bringing Models To You They have some dio stuff on there and offer good discounts as well as a good price. I buy my bits of them for the scale cockpits etc. They have some dio stuff on there, inc ground stuff, dark earth grass etc. I would think but im not sure but i would use some sort of resin mixed with the earth to give it that wet shine look. or even the stuff you use for water. I would mix a little of the dark earth with the resin or something like that and let it dry to see what it looks like. If it works you can run some tyres in it before it totally dries to form some ruts. I would even experiment with some dry soil and resin to see what it looks like.

Good luck anyway.

Hi guys,

Today ive finally started the paint. Theres not alot done yet but here it is with its first coat of primer on (Still a little damp). Im going to put a thin coat of filler over some areas to cover gaps where the paper has peeled and were it has twisted in painting.

Today i have started the groundwork. I added a blue scatter as it was cheaper than a green scatter so i will paint it later. I still need to add some to the rockfaces to create a moss or grass effect.

Thanks, Tom.

Thanks for the kind words Andy. But unfortunately it looks like your the only one following the project, but oh well i'll carry on.

Thanks, Tom

I've added some more scatter to the top of the rockfaces and on the ridges.

Here are some pics with the scatter on, and the models and figures in position.

Please Rate.
