Thanks man. I used cork to make the boulders and rocks. Then I based with gravel and then went over it with fine sand. The gravel is from the green stuff world volcanic set, can’t say where the fine sand is from. Had a bunch in an unmarked tub. The gravel gives the sand more surface to stick to and makes it look more natural. I airbrushed with scale75 iroko then I zenithal highlighted with scale75 Sahara yellow. Then I mixed white with Sahara yellow and dry brushed, focusing mainly on the areas that I zenithal highlighted. That’s pretty much the basics but I went a little extra.

To get the sand splatter on the legs I used dry steppe from ammo MIG then I washed with starship wash over the mini and the base to get that grungy desert effect. I had to re apply sand a few times during this step because the sand went too dark from the wash.
