Here’s the start of the base that I’m going to use. I started this base last spring to be used for another project that didn’t work out. I took a cheap pine plaque and covered it with a mix of dirt and coffee grounds, and that’s where I had left it.
For my road block scene, I took my dremel and carved out a drainage ditch. Then I covered the road with air dry clay. This was the first time that I used the air dry stuff and had it crack.
Next, I gave the road bed a coat of Elmers Wood filler to fill in the cracks then added tank tracks
Next, I added some Liquitex Ceramic Stucco to the ditch to give it some texture.
Folowing up, I gave the base a coat of cheap craft paint raw umber.
Lastly, I oversprayed the roadbed with a 50/50 mix of Tam Flat Earth and Desert Yellow, then added some Woodland Scenics Burnt Grass and Course Turf around the edges of the ditch.
Next up, I'll finish weathering the 234 and add it to the base.
