Thank you Tony!!  Trying to!!  Richard, thank you for the tip on the wire. I have not completely decided whether or not to place the wires from the pic yet.  They could be communication lines or detonation cables. The Life pictorial series this picture was from shows several US Demolition experts placing ordinance...also on the phone.. LOL..very close!! I will be placing your SBS for Barbed wire up in the tips section a little later, if you do not mind!! Great stuff and very helpful for anyone looking to make some barbered wire!! Rob...you are a junkie when it comes to this stuff!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D I will visit you in the home when you get older...just toss some kits of Russian tanks at you to keep you happy!! 28 - much appreciated buddy, thank you!!

Hey Guys!! Back at it somewhat! ;D I took my XPS Foam base and coated it with a nice mix of fine sand, glue and water. After this dried, I mixed a bit of plaster and some Mig Pigment to make some earth, blending the little country hill.  A little dry fit...  I coated the exterior around the new base black tonight. Also cleaned up some rocks for the wall and made some preparations for my order of Silflor... MONDAY!!! ;D ;D ;D Thanks for hanging around!! |

It's something to look forward to. The ground work can be big fun too. It's a couple of years ago now but this is so inspiring, for my junky Dodge I'm planning to make a groundwork base ! Go T !

A little more today...  Rocks... ;D  Base veggies, 1/8" green flock...  Attached the flock with white PVA thinned with water. After sprinkling out of a spice container, it stands up nicely. I gave some small light blasts with canned air to push the flock grass into different directions and to clean out the area where the tank will sit and to make some patchy areas! Tall grass and flowery stuff soon.... Thanks for having a peek!!! |
