Thanks Ron

I'm just waiting on a sheet of water effect from Greenstuff to make the ripple effect (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Calm-Water-Sheet-Rippled-Water-Effect-Basing-Scenery-Miniature-Diorama/272372490895?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649).

Morning all

Just a quick update because I've been really busy this week.  I've cut the other two terrain tiles and been in talks with my client on how he wants them set up.  We've agreed that the bottom two tiles will have a sand texture across 3/4 of them while a 8" width road runs across them.  The helipad will be glued into pace and surrounded by sand, while the bunker will not be glued (due to shipping) but also will be sat on sand.  A two inch border with run along the edges of two sides of each tile.

I slipped my Stargate and Death Glider just for the visual effect.  When I showed my client this picture, he wants on too now.

I can see why. Looks great with all that Joe Stuff. Off to share your update.

I purchased a sheet of calm water from www.greenstuffworld.com, cut it to the size of my Stargate.  Using my airbrush I sprayed a base layer of blue/green then worked in a lighter blue/green and white for the center.   

Up against a dark background I was slightly taken back with how the Wormhole effect had come out.

Now that is one cool effect. Does it look like this without a light behind it? Really awesome if thats the case. I like it!

Pretty cool site I briefly perused through where you got it too.

Off to share the latest.

Great to see some Stargate customs here on the Shipyards.
I can't wait to see more.
Excellent work.

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Eight strips were cut which are to be used as borders on two edges of each tile, each strip has a two inch width. I decided to make one set overhang and the other cut shorts by half an inch, this makes them interlink. and interchange with one another.

Two inch squares where cut into the border, then the sides were sanded and the edges of the borders softened.

I took two pieces of 5 mm foam board for the road, I took my steam cleaner and used it to remove the top card layer.  When top layer had been removed, they were glued onto the tiles and a black base coat was applied.  Once it was dry I airbrushed a light grey coat evenly over both boards, I also added a couple of pot holes.

Definitely looks like it is coming along.

I began painting the borders of each tile with a light grey, using a sponge to dab the paint on.  Doing this I was ale to get a nice even coat all the way around, then using a brush to to paint the sides. 

The road, I have added a couple more pot holes and cracks in the tarmac, being a dessert road and with today's standard of roads it needs imperfections.  I then used to the sponge and lightly dabbed paint across the road and then gently blended it all in to lighten the tarmac.  Where I will use my airbrush to then weather it.
