Looks great! Being a neophyte, how did you use baking soda on the base? I assume you painted it? Great work! Tom P. |

I put some baking soda into a simple dixie cup and poured some Elmer's glue in. Then applied the mixture onto the base that was already stained and masked. I took some time to shape the layout. I didn't have any laid out plan and let the material sort of guide my decisions a bit. I then spray painted the base tan and added sand over that when it was still went. I went in and painted the rocks with a grey paint and brush. Not the best technique as it mucks up your brush. I then applied a clear flat coat and added different colored / sized sand to break up the terrain. I then applied a final clear coat added the clear acrylic rod, and tanks. If you even look at the terrain in the wrong way it can fall apart as most of the internal structure is just baking soda. Way too brittle for my taste. If I try this procedure again, I'm going to add liberal amounts of Modpoge as well, and an acrylic paint color of whatever the majority of the base color will be. So in this case it would probably be tan. The result will hopefully be a more robust / strong terrain. Hope that helps. |
