| Step 1 You need to start with wood filler, a putty knife and metal washers for bases. |
| Step 2 Glue your miniature to the base. |
| Step 3 Use the wood filler and spread it on. |
| Step 4 Collect your own flocking material (i.e. sand) while the putty is drying. |
| Step 5 Coat the dry wood filler with white glue and dip the base in the flocking material. |
| Step 6 Wait for the sand to dry and then give it one more coat of glue. |
| Step 7 When the glue is dry apply a black wash of Future, water and black ink. |
| Step 8 After the wash is dry, apply a dry brush of brown. |
| Step 9 Then dry brush with ochre. |
| Step 10 Then apply a dry brush of sand color. |
| Step 11 Place a few drops of glue and apply static grass. |
| Step 12 Drybrush the grass an ochre color. |
| Step 13 Admire the finished product. |
