How To: Catapult base

My friend asked me to make a base for his catapult model in 1/72 scale.

I started from this:

• MDF board
• Kromlech rocks (even better than real rocks :P )
• small tree made from copper wire

With Acrylic putty I covered whole base (without rocks)  including tree to make bark. I left two small grooves as made from catapult wheels.
When dried with PVA glue add small gravel and sand.

Painting time:

• Vallejo grey primer for whole, and them:
• Vallejo Medium Brown for ground
• Vallejo Black for tree bark
• Rocks:
• Sombre Grey
• Cold Grey
• Stonewall Grey
• As finish drybrush with White

 Time for Greens:
I used Woodland Scenics turfs because they are quick and great for 1/72 scale as a grass and small undergrow.
So for ground:

• Burned grass turf
• Burned grass coarse turf
• Grass Green Blend turf
• Medium Green bushes
• Lichen 

All glued with Scenic cement

For tree
 With Hob-E-Tac I glued Light Green Foliage

For final touch I add withered roots.


Finished base looks this:
