first off sorry for the bad pics. So I started with a big piece of plywood and covered it in drywall patch for some texture. I then took a dvd tower cut it up and attached it. mixed some sand, glue and gray paint for the clean side and then spread it. Painted the dirty side and added some fake moss and straw. Nothing great about this diorama but I wanted to post it, I used the plywood so I could have a sturdy base but I don't think ill need that heavy of wood next time I do one of these.
