I got my 1:18th display case and decided to use that as a base. Under carriage came off the machine and it will sit like this.

I got the foam board out and knocked up a rough template which will get covered in a Dust/PVA mix. I will build it up slowly, probably add some vegetation and some bucket teeth claw marks!

The machine will need a good weathering! Will post more photos as it comes along.
