Yes, nearly there. I cut a bit of ply for the base last night, but I don't think it will take long to complete as it will just be a forest floor.

Evening chaps. :smiling3:
I got to work on the base, which is a bit of ply.
First up I added some blobs of air drying clay to add some topography, and also some plaster of Paris rocks I made ages ago but haven't used yet.
Next up I covered it with thinned PVA glue and sprinkled it liberally with grout. As this started to go off I sprayed it with water to get some texture.
And finally I airbrushed some brown and earth tones and painted the rocks grey and added a dark wash. When that has dried I will dry brush them with some lighter greys.

I've been working on the base some more. I finished painting the rocks over the weekend and I'm quite pleased for a first attempt, they look reasonably rock like.
Tonight got the grass and litter down, and plugged in some trees.
I might actually leave it at that. I'm trying to portray a forest track in the summer, and I think adding much more will detract from the scene.

Looks good Bob. "Less is more"!

Yep, that's exactly my thinking.

Great looking base, Bob.
Nice and simple - You are spot on with your reasoning. Too much on it and it would take the eye away from the Stug.
Balance, my dear chap, balance.... :thumb2:
