Worked a little on the ground today, sprinkled some sand and small stones, and then soaked it in dilluted white glue.
Here is the glue not dry yet.

I like it a lot! (y) Just be careful of what you're going to spray on that sand, as it already looks good to me - at least on my PC screen! :coolio Way to go bagge: that dio is looking GREAT!!! :eek:hyeah

Cheers and good luck - looks like you're gonna make the deadline! :dude

Ok that's it for today
//Mats
 
Thanks Terry :) Will give that barrel some weatherbeaten look to :hmmm
Thats for tomorrow now it's sleeping time! :Hiay
//Mats
 
That crotch shot still makes me squent and say "OUCH"

Now I can see the footprints Mats. If you going to weather the barrel you have to weather the hell out of the woodstock also. Or it could just have been a new issue rifle.
 
Will do that Dave :) and i forgot one thing....... the sweat! must make the soldiers sweat a little bit (discolouring the uniforms)
//Mats
 
Got some more done today :coolio
Here you see me in action :blink
