Cactus Patch

 Having bought Dead Man's Hand, and previously Wild West Exodus, I needed some scenery.

At SELWG, I bought another pack of Dead Man's Hand Cacti and some Products For Wargamers MDF scatter terrain bases.

The edges ofmthe base were filed to a slope.
Some rocks were sculpted using Milliput and the bases removed from the cacti with a razor saw.
A mixture of granite ballast and Woodland Scenics fine Cinder Ballast was applied over PVA glue to texture the base. This was undercoated first with Halfords Grey Primer, then Citadel Zandri Dust spray.
The cacti were painted Army Painter Army Green, dry brushed with Citadel Nurgle Green and shaded with Citadel Coelian Greenshade. They were then dry brushed again with Citadel Nurgle Green and lightly with Citadel Terminatus Stone.
The base was then dry brushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone.
Gamer's Grass tufts were added to break up the open space.
Jesse James takes cover amongst the cacti.

Frank James also makes use of the cover.

More cacti here.
