No surface in nature is completely level not even airfields.I am spreading sand around here and there to help make it look more natural.I then sprayed on some alcohol using a fine sprayer (in order to break up any surface tension and let the glue mix sink in)Take a water dispenser and then drop by drop apply a glue/water mix of 25/75%.Let this dry overnight.You can re-work this until you are happy adding layer upon layer as you go.

Harley's new role!
I am thinking of taking Harley the dog(or fur-person as I like to call them)out of the office in the Jenny diorama, where he can hardly be seen, and give him a staring role as Fritz who lost his master in the accident.A lot of pilots,especially German fighter pilots kept dogs as their personal companions in a situation where bonding with you fellow pilots was difficult due to the high mortality rate.I plan to have him sort of behind the hangar door looking at the wreckage of his masters airplane.For those who do not know of this special relationship it will just be another dog but to those who do it will sent a strong message.I don't think Harley will mind!

This low angle shot gives you an idea of just how rough the surface can be.The roughness that you see here ,was caused by holding the drip- by -drip water/glue dispenser higher above the surface.The smoother you want it the closer you will have to hold the dispenser.
I will be coming back over this area with finer sand and dirt but for now I have the option of both textures.

Fritz (alias Harley)
Funny how one small dog can change the whole storyline.

Meanwhile back at the Jenny hangar.
It looks like Commanche has pretty much drained all the water from this tub!
I didn't have much choice here as his head is so low to the ground.I put a little debris on the bottom and sealed it with little glue/water mix,then dried it with a hair dryer and covered it with a little gloss medium to make it look wet.
