I have decided that I don't have enough pieces like Anvil Gate:
So I am going to make a pretty terrain piece using the Badlands Compound.
Whilst it will be smaller I will still try to get it packed with nice little touches and details.
First of all I have a nice steel base to mount it on thanks to PRECISION WARGAMES SUPPLIES LTD ( http://www.freewebs.com/pwsltd/ )
Next thing is to stick it down and hide the hairline gaps between the resin model and the steel base.
I am using Windsor and Newton Sand Texture Gel.
I apply this using a brush.
It is nice and easy to use and gives quite a fine finish compared to Vallejo White Pumice which I use on my infantry bases.
Then I do some work on the inside with some traffic patterns, so you can see that the interior is churned up and has gooves from people and vehicles moving around in there.
Then the outside.
The edges of the base will be flocked to match the table so the gel is not applied right to the edges.
