well here is a pic of the sand i got;
i got it from here:
Decorative coloured sand at Rista.co.uk
in hindsight i should have gone for the natural colour but i thought that might be wrong and went with the champagne one. never mind. the sand is nice and fine as you can see and i can always airbrush it to get the right tone.
maybe a mod could add
Decorative coloured sand and gravel for crafts and displays at Rista.co.uk to the modeling resource directory?
