Update.
Been working on a base for the model, so started off with one I had in the shed

I masked off the base to protect the paint, it had already been pre-filled with Tetrion filler. I then added some DAS modelling clay to give me raised areas and to allow me to add the track indentations.

I decided to add a broken wall area in one corner

And once happy with this I then laid down the 'grass'. This was the NOCH static grass, but before laying it, I neededd to tone down the brightness and this was done by pouring some Burnt Sienna pigments into the tub and then spending about five minutes stirring in the pigments with the 'grass'.

I did not want the grass to be standing tall, and as I was laying it I tamped it down gently and once happy I sprinkled on some 'Moss' to fill in the areas that the grass did not adhere to. Once happy I wrapped an old handkerchief over the end of the hoover and sucked up the excess, the reason for the handkerchief is why waste what you do not need.

Still a little more work to do once it is all dry, like going over the whole base to lift the grass a bit and then add the T-72.
Cheers,
Mike.
