Stopping for Some Water in the 1/144 Dessert

As the desert has always been my favorite campaign, here an unfinished small diorama.

The foundation is made of a Dragon box. To get a dessert ground, I put glue on it and spread fine sand over everything. Once the sand has dried I started with the houses.

The houses have a wooden core which I cover with a kind of clay. The rest of the red color you can see on the picture is from that clay. Once you have modeled the houses, I put them in the oven to be heated for around 20-30 min. Now you can paint them.

The fountain is made out of the same material. To get the round shape I used a pencil.

This project was more a test for me to learn how to use this clay for house building.

So I hope you like my very small African village.
