Desert Wadi Part One

Hello There! I wanted to add a desert wadi to my desert terrain and have been planning how I would do this for a while.

I made the base and sides in the same way as the modular terrain, here. I was able to use many styrene off cuts from the rubbish bag, that I had kept., 'just in case'!

I had drawn out the sides of the wadi on the plywood base and filled the sides out with the styrene off cuts.

At first I was planning  to score the face of the rocks, like here. But I had a large amount of Woodland Scenics plaster rock faces made and a large bag of plaster left over from another craft project.

I cast a number of rocks and then started to fit the most suitable parts in place. There would be some overhang, where the rocks would be taller than the styrene but I can make the height difference up later.

I included a slope on one side to aid access to the bottom of the Wadi and have plans to add a few more sections to this scenery later.

I made it all fit together and then will glue up in the next part.
