    In particular, one for some of the Mcf Military figs. I thinking a couple more bombed out, shot through stone walls, sandy-looking base, etc.
    Question - what does one use to make the walls? I was thinking of trying bodyfill (Bondo) or making drywall filler. I was thinking that with the bodyfill I could make a wall, and then hit it with a hammer on the corner to get a bombed out look, and hit it with an ice pick to get the shot up look.
    And I was thinking of mixing bodyfill with a sand colored paint, and then actually mixing in some sand for the texture.
    Any comments/help would be appreciated.

    Wish I could lend some advise...but I have no experience with those materials. It sounds like it should work well and give a very realistic affect!

    (somewhat jokingly) Use firecrackers for a scorched/explosion effect.

    Not sure on the materials that you want to use, but I once used Magic Sculp over the top of some foam core board and sculpted a sidewalk base on a diorama I did once.
