[Guest]

Large paintbrush, attached to plugs using hot glue gun, won't be to many. Weekend job

Run that by me again? It looks brilliant, could you go into a little more detail on this please, Steve? That looks the perfect platform for displaying a tank, I want to make one now!

And so easy to use, literally peel of the backing, press onto groundwork, blend in with mud, earth whatever, or add a bit of white glue round the edges and sprinkle on some 'grass', in the box they came in all different sizes and shapes, from teeny clumps to whole strips. Very Versatile.

Used the excellent 'snow' from Precision Ice and Snow, which is available here -  http://www.precisioniceandsnow.com/ Great company to deal with, fast delivery and a great product as well.  Just a couple of edges to tidy up and all done. Apologies for the number of shots
