HOW TO: Make a small (diorama) base (2)

This time I'll show you how to make a quick base for a tank or armoured vehicle, using quick setting polyfilla. You can have the base ready in less than an hour.. :) :)

Materials needed:

Your favourite type base

Polycell Multi Purpose Quick Drying Polyfilla (or a similar brand of your choice)

Paper or cloth

A stiff brush

Various paints

Any diorama materials of your choice

The polyfilla should be readily available at any DIY store and / or most supermarkets.

So how did you redo the tracks as you laid grass all over it and painted the tracks?

Did you also just add the grass onto the paint?

Great vids btw!
