With the plaster now set, creating the basic landscape, the texture is next. Most of this will be covered up with snow effect, but I still want a realistic mud-like texture where it will show through. This sandy paste is quite handy (if a bit awkward to spread) for creating a muddy feel to the display.
I've added a bit of grit and smaller rocks to the landscape for variety.
Finally for today, a few smaller details have been pushed into the still-wet paste. A landmine, discarded weapons and a few mandatory skulls have been added to make the display that little bit more "40k".
Return to the blog tomorrow for more dis-playful updates!
