The ingredients.
The filler mixture ready to apply.
I gave the base a few coats of the textured paint and left it to dry and harden over night. The next step was to apply some groundwork and for this i used good old polyfilla, wood glue and some paint. Mixed up with some water to give a good texture for application. Smooth the mixture over the base and ensure all the corners are given a good amount. I added some small clumps of twigs to add another dimension to the ground cover. I fixed them into the wet mix, easy. As the inside of the Stug can be seen a placed the vehicle into the wet plaster to ensure it would bond in and be more robust for handling in the future. I usually use a screw through the tank hull bottom into any base to ensure there won't be an accidents whilst in transit. Once the plaster had dried i added the snow to the base and tracks. I used Scenic bond brand. easy to use and a great end result.

Snow added.



The stowage on the back is a Legend set and is made from resin.
It is a perfect fit and only needed painting.
