Cheers.

The two bases started life as 2 x pictures from the 99p shop (99p for the pair) The Auster base was simply sprayed with picture mounting glue from an aerosol, then covered in loose railway modelling grass, with the process repeated twice.

The Scammel base was wet and dry paper stuck down using the same glue with an over spray of glue in the corner covered in modelling grass, then given a light blow over with a sand coloured wash to give the wet & dry a bit of variation.

Total time to make them, about 15 minutes. Cheap quick and effective.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.
