Desert bases can be done with just some very fine sand. Painted in desert yellow and then drybrushing kommando khaki and then bleached bone

grr...

I hate the location of the \"Reply\" button...




Anyway, great snow base there. I\'ve got designs on a dragon lair based in a snowy island cave but it\'s going to be complicated, involve some sort of crystal clear compound that I can use for ice, snow flocking, and lots of minis.

As for desert, I get some of the superfine sand from Michael\'s (they use it for candles or \"sand art\") and mix it with Zap-A-Gap. Dries so hard it\'s like concrete (or pavement to those across the pond).
