Base and the Finish Line!

Finally got back to LAV to finish her off. Finished off the weathering and added the stowage and a sign. Made a base from an old photo frame.

Base filled and a layer of DAS for the dirt also used some crushed kitty liter as small rocks and stones. Painted with MIG Desert Sand and Used some Ultimate Sand Wash.
The litter was glued to the DAS base using a watered white glue mix

Checking the placement
