:grinball2: Scott that is looking really cool its exactly like I was going to TRY to do, for my SAS jeep and when I eventually get one a LRDG Chevy,Mad prices being paid on e bay for them
when I get back to standing up for long enough I think I might be copying you stage by stage !!
Those trees look fantastic, they dont half cost to get the ready made ones on the bay ! there was also a guy making them and selling them.
Love it!Comment

Stunning piece of work. Really amazing and it looks REAL! And what i really like is how you've used bird sand etc to create the effect! I really admire this piece of work!

Thanks Paul i appreciate the comments however the bird sand and bird grit was originally Ron and tony's idea a while back extremely useful modeling gear though worth keeping in a cupboard. Paul thanks again for the very kind comments and i hope you will keep following this to the end, thanks again

Nothing to add to what has been said other than to totally agree, it just looks superb. Love the subtle tank tracks in the ground. I used to think that it would all be sand in the desert, and I am sure there are places like that out in the dunes. However, I was surprised when I went to Tunisia and had a camel trek out into the desert, the ground is very hard and not the soft sandy place I thought it would be.
When I look at your pics, I can see the place where we stopped for mint tea in the desert and I was humiliated into kissing a camel to amuse the rest of the tourists. I though I might as well go for it and grabbed the camels head and stopped just short of swapping tongues. The crowd cheered but I was embarrassed when the camel later complained. Said it was sick of having to snog the ugly ones......Comment

North Africa dio stage 4 pics
hi all for those of you who are following this iam now on stage four, in these next few stages i will be dealing with water in the oasis, so the products iam using are XF18 medium blue, XF59 desert yellow, XF52 flat earth and scenic water which is esentially a self leveling resign.
Step 1: i have mixed up flat earth medium blue and a little desert yellow and using my airbrush sprayed the bottom of the oasis, my plan here is to create depth in the water.Now in planning this i have asked people what there idea of an oasis is and most have said clear clean blue water in the desert, the truth is very much different in is slightly bluer in colour but murky at the same time so this is what iam trying to emulate.
Step 2: i have allowed the paint to dry for 3 hours and i have now added my first level of the water, i have allowed 24 hours drying time for this.
Step 3: At the moment i can't do any more to the water until it dries so i have added more vegitation using macramy wool.
The next stage will be spraying the water a light covering of light blue then adding a further layer to produce depth actual as well as simulated, What i will also need todo is trim the vegitationto differing heights to give a more random look.
hope you keep watching.
scott
