Dried earth passed through a sieve was scattered over the base and attached with PVA glue.
A diluted wash of matt black followed by dry brushing with buff was added to the base to emphasise the texture of the groundwork.
The groundwork was dry brushed with a lighter shade by adding 25% white to the buff.
All of the elements were brought together but looked bare. The next stage was to add some vegetation to the lower portion of the base.
The base was veneered with basswood and painted. The title label was then attached.
The gabions were undercoated with matt black then repeatedly dry brushed with lightened shades of browns then tan.
With the figures completed, the model was photographed from a variety of angles and distances.
