I glued the sand down with PVA, waited for it to dry. After a black primer I painted the sand with dark brown and followed with some drybrushing to a lighter brown. I then painted the stones in a dark grey and drybrushed it up to a lighter grey. I then covered with static grass, flock and various bushes.
I also made a few smaller pieces to go alongside the main piece, one example below.

This is the inspirational piece I am starting with.
I feel that the modern terrain making process has come so far (not a bad thing at all) that it has become almost out of reach skill wise for the average person to make, never mind a bit expensive. I wanted to create a good looking piece of terrain that was easy to make, durable and inexpensive, so I looked back in time to this amazing tome from Warhammer (GW).
I used cardboard in two layers for the base, cut to size with a scissors. I then went outside and found some suitable stones that looked the part and for the middle piece I used a piece of wood (you can also follow the book and use foam). I used fast drying joint filler (spackle) instead of the clay in the books description.
I will then paint, cover with sand and static grass, bushes and flock. Stay tuned to see how that goes.
