Fantasy Fiber

Today I'm taking a little break to relax in the park. 🌳 Sometimes stepping away from the workbench is exactly what you need to clear your mind and find new inspiration. The funny thing is... even while I'm trying to switch off, I keep looking at the ground and thinking about my GWCC diorama. 😂 Now I'm seriously wondering if I should collect some real soil and use it for my WW1 trenches. It would certainly add a level of realism that's hard to replicate with hobby materials. Of course I'd need to clean and prepare it properly first, but the idea is becoming more and more tempting! What do you think? Have any of you ever used real soil in a diorama, or do you prefer sticking to dedicated basing products? I'd love to hear your experiences! 🌿
