Desert, does this need any paint ?

[Alan 45]

after John Huggins post about what to use for a desert I learned some used kitty litter so I've done a bit on a piece of board and was wondering if it needs any painting


Apart from the desert scrub this is all kitty litter the sand is crushed up bits and the stones are full pieces from the bag


I don't think it does but it's always good to get a second opinion [ATTACH]111256.IPB[/ATTACH]

Just the base [ATTACH]111257.IPB[/ATTACH]

At first glance i was fooled into thinking it was real it looks that good so i would not paint it as it would spoil it.


But others might differ

You nailed it Alan!


It's fine to me

[Alan 45]

Cheers chaps it's great to see I'm getting something right


I won't use this for anything specific I think I'll use it to add something when I take photos of any desert build I do


Thanks for your help

Looks damn good from here Alan........... Doesn't need anything matey. Unless you can find a scale Meerkat popping out of a hole

Nah...... Rabbits do do it. No Meerkat then nothing.

It don't need paint and to be honest it would be impossible to paint..


If it's anything like the stuff our cats use, it will soak up paint and clump up. Either that or it will run out to a hard Yucky mess.


Don't forget to keep it away from the cat.


"What! It's my cat litter and I will pee in it as and when I feel the urge" ... Admit it, you can imagine your cat saying it... Mine would.

Ian when I was crushing it up I left it on the floor in the cave and went to get something, came back in and the cat was sniffing it with one paw in the box lid I was crushing it up in , lucky escape I think

Yep, as the guys have said it looks the part as is mate.
