A quick update tonight, following on from the scenic work over the weekend, the blobs of sand have set nicely into foliage-ish 'clumps' which, with the sand soil toned down and the protruding lumpy bits dry brushed green to represent nettles and the like, will sit nicely among the final layer of static grass.

For now, the sandy protrusions have been drybrushed green 'virtually' to give an idea of what I am looking to do!

To create more of these 'plants', dry sand with a small amount of PVA can be rubbed between two fingers, to the consistency of apple crumble topping...

...stop me if I am making people hungry .....

And then the crumbly blobs can be dropped carefully (or entirely randomly, depending on how the mood takes you!) onto some dilute PVA on the scenery itself. The two will blend together and set like concrete, ready for dry brushing the appropriate greenish shade.

More to report soon hopefully!
