    Small base for my year old jeep

    After quite an eventful few months break from modelling I decided to give my little jeep from last year a little base. This is a slow work in progress as I have very little spare time lately.[ATTACH]281401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]281402[/ATTACH][ATTACH]281405[/ATTACH]

    Well it looks like it's going to be a nice little base for it Shaun, some nice work so far.

      Thanks. Never tried this sort of thing. It has been fun so far.

        Oh! It will look so nice, Shaun

        Just a suggestion, why you don't try to build the wall, using some small rocks from the garden? Will look more realistic

          What a great idea. Will see what I can find tonight.

              I had a go at a wall using Polux suggestion. I like it. It will look better when I weather it a little. [ATTACH]281461[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]281462[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]281463[/ATTACH]

Still got lots to do. Could do with ideas on how to break up the green a little...particularly where the jeep sits.

                          [ATTACH]283051[/ATTACH] Think I will call this done. As a little temporary base I think this ok.

                            What a great little vignette Shaun, and for a first attempt that's better than what i produce now.

                              Thanks. I enjoyed spending time on it and will definitely keep trying to improve.
