Making cement for a base

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

Rounds Complete!!

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.

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.

Awesome, thanks for the advice.

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

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.
