Grasshoppers and Elephants
Mud Time
I painted the whole thing brown with cheap burnt umber acrylic 
Then added some bits and bobs like steps from match sticks and a few more sand bags.
To paint the fire base I used a cheap burnt umber acrylic over everything.
The next step was to mix red into the base colour to make a clay like colour then splashed that everywhere.
Once that was fully dry I gave the whole model a Drybrush of zandri dust.
Then using Martian iron earth I painted blobs around the bases and to create paths down the hill connecting the bunkers.
Finally I gave everything a second Drybrush of zandri dust really focusing on the sand bags followed by a light brush of wraith bone.
The wood areas were then dabbed in with brown speed paint and the barrels were painted with vallejo russian uniform.
Once all that was dry I mixed contrast medium with a terracotta earth weathering powder and I worked that into the bunkers and around the sandbags removing any excess with a damp cotton bud.
Last but not least I drilled some little holes to poke the barbed wire into.
