Hi fellow modelers,
Still new-ish to the hobby and working on my next kit. The 88mm Flak Gun - North Africa version.
As I'm working through this, I'm realizing with all the figures, gun, motorcycle, ammo boxes etc, this kit is really meant to be set up as a scene.
I hadn't planned or thought of that, but looking at a few pictures it seems very easy for this model to have a basic sand base like the one in this photo - https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/35283north_african/index.htm
So my question is, before I dive right in and assume I just need to glue some sand to a board, what other dumb mistakes will I make and then say later on "Oh, I wish I know that!"
Could I go with something other than a wood board? Best sand to use?
Thanks!!
