Little too much of a contrast between the base and highlight for me, unless it's a chalk scree battlefield then Nice job!   :D

I used to use woodland scenics stuff but now much prefer the german scenic products they are just spot on +1 on the mininatur grasses.

Nice work. I'll keep this firmly in mind for any dry/dusty/arid minis.
Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!

Thanks

You say on you blog that you magnetize your bases?

I use the 0.4mm A4 self adhesive magnetic sheets from Abel Magnets: http://www.magnetic-paper.com/shop.asp?ID=9 £4.99 for three sheets - bargain!
