And the last part is to apply it to the base until you have it all covered and this mix will take about 24 hours to dry.

Hi All,

The base layer of dirt dried perfectly and I used dirt and mulch for the final layer, I used a branch from the bush area and just snapped it and placed it on the base using PVA/Woodglue.

The small leafs around the pod are plastic plants which I cut up and then gave them a wash of Vallejo's Gunship Green, I then placed them around the pod to simulate the plants that survived the impact got covered by dirt.

I am in the process of giving the other plants a wash and will show pics of them on the dio soon.

Hi All,

I have got all the plants on and just need to do a little weathering to the ground work and tehn paint and weather the figures and paint the sides of the dio.

The plants all part the ferns are from JoeFix Studios and they are plastic and the ferns I picked up from the local craft shop, I just gave them a light wash using Vallejo's Gunship green and the moss is Light Green Grass Fibers which are from JoeFix Studios.

Awesome! The layout looks outstanding as usual. Great idea with the plaster cloth. Joefix makes great products, hard to find in U.S.

Cheers buddy and the plaster cloth is great it sits so natural and is easy to work with. It's first time I've used JoeFix products and I'm impressed and there is a online model shop here in Australia that supplies them and they are cheap as well.

Hey Jules, great to hear from you buddy and thanks heaps.

Cheers Shawn and this is on hold for about a week as I'm waiting on more plants to arrive as I think it needs a few more to fill in a few gaps.

I got up early to see the new update? :'(

LOL! Just kidding bud, far be it from me to tell you I think it looks great with the plants as is, but you know how to make it totally pop so more plants it is! I just love the trailing edge and how it angles down and looks all crumbly. Top notch as always.
