Thanks Paul and PorcoRosso. Even better with some oils to cover the sand. Figures are 99% done. Not happy with the faces but think I have a new way of doing them in the future.

Thanks PorcoRosso. Thought I could do more sunflowers but the supplied wire was very short. Only enough wire for 8 sunflowers.

Thanks Paul and wouter. Made some more. Another problem is lots of flowers but not enough leaves. Anyway, made this lot.  Gave the figures a wash with winter streaking grime and immediately cleaned it off.  Faces are a bit dirty, but, no problem. Finished the toilet.

Nicely done Tommy. You could make your own leaves from cigarette papers. Glue the paper to a thin piece of wire, then cut to shape. The wire allows you bend them into the shape you wish. I did this for some jungle plants I needed, if look here you can see how I did it. Scroll about 3/4 of the way down page 4 mho.freeforums.net/thread/788/m38a1c-california-dreamin-finished?page=4

Thanks Paul, PorcoRosso and wouter. Here are the sunflowers in situ after a Matt coat. Also used Tamiya weathering master for dust effects on the bunker.
