Following on from my earlier Blog post, I have now bulked out the base with DAS modelling clay, making sure to add some exposed roots to the lower trunk and blending-in the slate chips.
The ground cover was then textured with a mix of sieved stones, sand and sawdust applied over PVA glue and then 'flooded' with diluted PVA glue to which I have added flow improve or washing-up liquid which fixes the loose particles in place.
The base and trunk was then painted in various browns, greys and even green while the rocky outcrops were painted grey and highlighted with a lighter drybrushing.
The final images, show the base washed with a Dark Flesh or Strong Tone wash to highlight the sculpted detail.
I just need to flock the base and it will be ready for the gaming table.
