An alternative (if slightly more expensive option) is to use acrylic mediums rather than PVA. That way you can vary the amount of matt/gloss medium to create different types of earth (wet or dry). Also worth adding in a handfull of cheap flocking to give it some vegetable debris texture along with the sand, makes for a more realistic effect.
hmm.... this looks good... to bad i already have my own recipe for basing... with wall filler, paint and sand instead of pva but i have to make a small batch of yours and test
This is great, I've only recently (in the past few days) had the realisation that I can make mini things - I do a lot of world building but find it hard to visualise my stuff simply through drawing it - so I'm trying to go through all the basics to compile a list and stuff... I'm a broke uni student so anything DIY like this is brilliant (and I live close to an estuary and quite a few beaches within reasonable bus distance, so lots of sand!) Thank you very much
Wow.. nice video... I was just thinking about this today. What paint did you use? It looks like burnt umber , but is it acrylic or oil? Any recommendations or any of the colour tubes will do?
Citadel/GW paints are supposed to dry up, long before you finish the paint pot!

I need to make some more soon, I will give this method a try. Thanks

Thanks for the recipe! I made this yesterday for my burrows and badgers bases and it works amazing!
Glad it was of use!

I like the filler use. I may experiment with it.

Thank you very much
Glad it was useful to you. I still haven't purchased any "real" stuff since making this
@@TheBattlinBarrowGaming That's brilliant! Do you have any advice for someone who's starting out?
A sterling effort, other than the spelling.
Haha yeah what a mistake haha
I am literally going to swap to MDF bases and the mud going forward Al save a fortune cheers kev

Free textured paint for you!
Great vid! I usually substitute sand with toilet paper tho; it makes it very easy to turn it into green moss, or to sculpt tracks and footprints on ^^
Great tip!
I'm curious about the toilet paper... do you shred it up?
Enjoy your site.great work.
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the channel!
