Modeling accessory Ammo Wargaming Universe 11 - Create Your Own Rocks, terrain basing kit

Ammo Wargaming Universe 11 - Create Your Own Rocks is a modeling accessory kit designed to help hobbyists create realistic rock formations and scenic bases for dioramas and tabletop wargaming. The kit contains modeling components and materials tailored for crafting textured rock surfaces, adding natural detail to miniature bases, and enhancing scenery layouts. It is intended for use with standard modeling adhesives, paints, and finishing products to achieve varied rock textures and colors.

Advantages

The kit enables the creation of diverse rock shapes and sizes without the need to sculpt from scratch, saving time while maintaining control over final appearance. Materials in the set are formulated for easy shaping, adhesion to common basing substrates, and compatibility with acrylic paints and washes. The product supports repeatable results for multiple bases and is suitable for both beginners and experienced modelers who require consistent texture and structural stability in scenic elements.

Suitable for

• Creating custom scenic bases for wargaming miniatures
• Building diorama rock formations and natural terrain details
• Enhancing display bases for models and figures
• Producing modular terrain pieces for tabletop layouts

Key specifications

• Contents include molding and shaping materials for rock textures and fillers suitable for basing applications
• Materials compatible with standard modeling adhesives and acrylic paints
• Designed for shaping into varied rock sizes and layered textures
• Suitable for use on common basing substrates such as MDF, plastic, resin, and cork
• Provides stable, paintable surfaces once dried or cured according to product instructions

How to use

Prepare your base surface by cleaning and, if required, applying a primer or PVA adhesive to improve adhesion. Apply the kit materials to the base, shaping and texturing while pliable to achieve the desired rock formations. Allow materials to dry or cure fully before sanding or refining edges. Once set, apply base coats, drybrushing, washes and weathering to simulate natural stone color and depth. Combine with flocking, static grass or rubble to integrate rocks into larger terrain scenes.

Usage recommendations

Use standard safety precautions when working with modeling compounds: work in a well-ventilated area, avoid skin contact with uncured materials, and wear gloves if needed. Test adhesives and paints on a small area to ensure compatibility. For best results, build up rock layers gradually and allow sufficient drying time between steps to preserve texture and adhesion.
