Hi All,

I have started on the base and I decided to have the dio give the dio a partial cliff face. The reason I decided on a rocky cliff face is the dewback being green and the cliff being reddish browns and light browns will give each other the perfect contrast for each other.

I still have to paint and weather the troopers and I also need to a little touch up to the eyes.

Thanks heaps Shawn and yeah a got to admit I am over the moon with this sculpt and it just turned out amazing once it was put together and painted. I'm even smiling more as I haven't finished it yet and have people emailing me wanting to buy it when it's done.

I'm stocked that they want to by it and that puts a huge smile on the face but I will be keeping this one for myself as I love it that much.

Well i know i am smiling as i look at this one ! Once again Stunning work 

Cheers Buddy and glad you like it.

Hi All,

Almost completed this dio, I just need to paint the cliff so it looks like sandstone and then weather it and the figures and then do the sand.

The cliff was covered with plaster of paris and then plaster cloth was used to give it a more natural look and then a 50/40/10 mix of spakfilla/sand/paint was used to cover the plaster cloth.

Hi All,

Ok nearly there, I only need to do the sand and then get outdoor pics.

The cliff was given washes of light sand, medium sands and brown sands and then two washes of desert sand. Once the last wash was done I used red brown pastel chalk and brushed it on in random areas.

Once the pastel chalk was added I then used a medium brush and gave the pastel chalk a going over of just plain water to spread it out and also to tone down the red brown.

The troopers were given weathering using light sand paint and pastel chalks so was the dewback, I gave the dewback the same water wash to tone the pastels down as well.

Hi All,

Last update for the night.

I have done the sand by mixing spakfilla 50/sand 40/Iraqui sand paint 10  and then applying it to the base and once it starts drying I glued the figures in place.

I'll let the sand mix dry and see what it looks before if it needs a wash of light sand and then I'll paint the edges.

Wow Ron, epic is how I would now describe this. I bet you are getting a ton of offers on it each day. So cool. Off to share it yet again!

 Perfect ! Another excellent piece. I an not familiar with making sand and rock effects the way you do and have always been in awe . That's why i went with real sand on mine . But i like how you listed what you used for the look of the rocks and sand  i will have to experiment ! If i am not mistaken didn't you do a video tutorial of how you get those effects ?
