Thanks for the encouraging words. Today I added a few different colored washes. Here is where things are.

I don't love it, but hopefully the dusting steps coming up next will tie it all together.

Ground cover step 1

This is simply wall plaster painted with some brown primer.

Once dry, it, along with the whole undersides of the SU will get some heavy brown washes.

Then static grass.

Then pigment dusting.

I also need to fix some of the sloppy mess on the hull side. Had a bit of an accident here. I may cover it up with some folded up camo netting or some such.

And a nice little stand to go with it. Is that purpose bought or a DIY job?

Molly new, the stand is just a cheap item that I picked up at the craft store. I stained and varnished it and used wall plaster for the earth work
