Assembly:

1 Glue on Plasticard chips, like cracking stone or mud
2 Have the sand over flow on to the plasticard a bit

Painting:

1 Prime white
2 Layer on a heavy layer of quite thin'd down dark browish
3 Before it has totally dried blot out the center of the chips, with a dry brush, so they are whitish again
4 Let dry
5 Essentially steps 2-4 with other warm colors (red, orange, more brown) and black

There is no dry brushing, all the Highlighting is either reductive or from the way the thin'd paint flows. I got the idea from this rembrandt:

Industrial


Snow

Great work!

Boardwalk


Unnatural Growth

WOW! That wood for the boardwalk is great! what did you use? and have you considered making a post-apocalyptic abandoned city base? I would like to see something like that. Keep up the great work!

Balsa Wood. A post-apocalyptic abandoned city base might be in the cards soon.

I dig your industrial bases, great rust technique!

The gaps between the plasticard are a bit too big to be convincing as cracked mud, and it is never that linear when it happens.

True, then again the size of the pictures beguiles the size of the base.
