Finally dry. Good thing I added the texture because without it this thing would be SLICK

Trying to get some painting done today

Who'd of thought ...you got blood sweat and BEER involved with this build ....excellent!

Earthy brown base is down. Pretty sub optimal temps for painting in the garage.

Painted. Still kind of bland. Maybe some fake moss? Once I find the lines I could probably add some tread marks

Definitely logs ....maybe few leaves

Glue some rocks and sticks here and there, than add some mossy stuff.

Glued some rocks to it randomly. Then hit it with some dirt. The dirt really added some life to it, but as soon as it gets turned over it will all fall off.

not a diorama guy, or very artsy, so if anyone has suggestions to adding some life to this thing please let me know!

Currently trying to think of a way to get the dirt to stick. Maybe dump it then hit it with a clear spray adhesive and reapply?

Youtube is a great thing

I was just going to suggest a coat of pva glue (elmers white school glue) then sprinkle on sand and let dry. But looks like you already found that solution.

Got some clear pva on order. Gonna mix it with straight dirt from the backyard to a consistency that I like then apply and cross my fingers.

The video states a lot of ingredients but I'm just going for simplicity
