Making cement for a base

Im gona give the celluclay idea a try considering thats the only thing I have in my posession that was mentioned and Im short on cash.

So I should just flatten a bit of celluclay till its nice and flat, put a piece of sandpaper in it for a second to give it a textured look then let dry and paint?(just makin sure I got this right)

Make sure you thoroughly mix it, and don't add too much water. Use water on your fingers to smooth it out.

Awesome, thanks for the advice.

Heres a question, when mixing, gloves or no gloves?

Smeagol,Sheetrock mud, when dry, looks exactly like concrete and its cheap...smooth it out to the desired texture, let dry for a few days, sand and paint..good luck!

Here is a pic of a bunker I made from sheetrock mud, there is a little spatter paint procedure that I did with a airbrush other that that it was just sanded and painted grey...you be the judge.

I second the drywall mud, a.k.a. spackling compound.  I pretty much use it exclusively.  I used it a while ago on an Iraqi dio for a customer.  I used foamcore board to build up the sidewalk, then covered it with spackle.  Once it was dry, I sanded it smooth and scribed in the joint lines.  Then I painted and weathered it.  I think it looks pretty good. 

You can see more of it here.

Stick with the drywall mud....its cheap, easy and IMHO looks the best.
