So to commence proceedings in the paint phase I used some Burnt Umber poster paint and liberally applied with a cheap brush. Not much to say here, goal was just to try and get a covering down to protect the bare foam a little.

When that was dry I broke out the airbrush and gave the cliff faces a light coat using Vallejo Air NATO brown. I then mixed the brown with Vallejo Air Desert Sand and ran a second coat over all the faces, moving the airbrush in a vertical manner to highlight the banding from the foam cutter and create the appearance of depth. gave it a bit of a top-down cover for good measure. Final pass was with just the desert sand, hitting the middle of the vertical bands to bring them out a little more. The scatter rocks got the same shading to tie everything together.
