Below are two examples of how to texture or flock terrain and model bases, as well as some further examples of interesting texture variations. The first example shows how to create a fine, even texture, while the second details how to make a coarse and rocky texture. The order of the pictures corresponds to the numbers below the images.

	To start things off, water down some wood glue. A 1:4 mix of water to glue will work just fine. Optionally, you can water it down on the fly by repeatedly adding water to the glue as you go. Use an old, ragged brush and spread the glue over the area to be textured. Work fast and cover small sections at a time as the glue will begin to dry if you work too large or slow. If you really need to cover a large area, mix up a tub of watered-down glue ahead of time and use a large brush to spread the glue around. Either way, move quickly or the glue will not be as sticky as it needs to be.
	Before you add the sand, it is a really good idea to place some sort of bucket or flat container underneath the object to catch the excess sand. Now, using some fine sand, sprinkle a handful over the glue-covered area to be textured. Gently shake off the excess sand into the bucket after each application of sand. If you are working in small sections, simply repeat the process until the area is completely covered.
	Once the piece it textured, let it sit for a bit. Your best bet is to be patient and wait overnight. However, you impatient folks can usually get away with waiting a mere 2 hours or so. The sand will now be firmly attached and ready for a basecoat of paint. So, grab a large brush and start applying some Chaos Black paint! You can use a spray can to speed things up if necessary. You are now ready to paint.

	Coarse texture is best created by using wood glue, since the stronger bond helps keep the larger granules of sand in place. Spread the glue onto the area to be textured. Use a 1:4 ratio of water and glue. Work fast and cover small sections at a time since the glue will begin to dry if you work too large or slow. If you really need to cover a large area, mix up a tub of watered-down glue ahead of time and use a large brush to spread the glue around. Either way, move quickly or the glue will not be as tacky as it needs to be.
	Before you add the sand, it is a really good idea to place some sort of bucket or flat container underneath the object to catch the excess sand. Now, using a coarse sand mixture, sprinkle a handful over the glue-covered area to be textured. Gently shake off the excess sand into the bucket after each application of sand.
	Once the area is covered, it is good practice to place a drop of glue over really large pebbles and bits. This drop will ensure that they stays put and don't fall off during painting. Use a 1:1 ratio of glue to water for this. Now, wait for it to dry and then lay down a basecoat of Chaos Black paint.

Above are two examples of additional ways you can texture a piece. The first one is a simple combination of fine sand and coarse sand dispersed in a random fashion. This mix breaks up the uniformity of a fine texture with a few clumps of rocks here and there.

The second example uses a few broken balsa wood sticks and larger sand grains to create a debris-filled area. Balsa wood is really just a starting point, because you can use wagon wheels, knives, barrels, and more to give off a debris-strewn feel. When using large piece of debris, you may want to use super glue or go back and place a drop of glue over really large pebbles and bits to ensure they stay in place.
