I decided to crack the window, and did a terrible job of it. Ah well.

I think in my short modelling career, this is the best thing I have come up with. Tamiya masking tape cut into a sweep, and Flory Grime Wash to show the dust that the wipers can't reach. I'm a genius.

It's Oasis, that flower-arrangers use. I have an idea that it may work as a base for a diorama. We shall see.

Used coffee grounds laid down with diluted PVA, and fake grass bought off eBay laid down on top of the coffee grounds also using diluted PVA. It worked really well.

The base for the dio is oasis, the flower-arrangers' material. Coffee grounds [used] and then fake grass [bought off eBay], laid down with diluted PVA.

Nice work !! Doesn't the ground coffee start to smell after some time?

I made sure it was dried out before I started, so I am hoping not.
