Thanks guys. For my bases, I use a two dollar wooden plaque from a craft's store and stain it. When dry, I tape off a quarter inch or so around the edge (see the base to know what I mean). I then slather on Elmer's white glue with a large paint brush. I then sift real (garden) dirt and model railroad grass on it in various patterns, then turn it over to dump off what doesn't stick. I do this in the discarded model box to conserve the dirt and grass. Repeat if necessary. I usually carve tire ruts into the wet dirt before it dried. It dries rock hard. It takes practice but that's the gist of it. For Pacific bases I have a container of sand to simulate that type of terrain. Nothing fancy.wasabi wrote:Very nice Spit!
