Where did the mesh (scale expanded metal - in the US) come from. Please don't tell me it is from a food available only in southern Australia or nearby!

OOPS there goes that "In" tray! Wouldn't it be better to use the "Out" tray so you don't have to do any work?

NOW its looking like one of mine.
Made a concoction of several Vallejo texture products & mixed them all together.
European Mud 73.807
Mud and Grass 73.826
European Splash Mud 73.801
Russian Splash Mud 73.802
Used one of the Girls school project brushes(a munted one) to apply the morass liberally around the whole thing.
Also was mindful of foot traffic & places a Soldier might wipe mud off his boots conveniently.

I reckon I might bung a bit of lighter pigment over areas that are dried out, but not sure on that.

Almost done.
