African Red Earth

[mike d]

Any hints on how to recreate this color ground for habitat?
Maybe brick red grout?

We have the same color dirt here in parts of Texas...

We use concrete gavel mix and concrete color, comes in several colors of red. been there eight time, even brought some dirt home for reference, and this stuff looks pretty darn close.
 Hope it helps......Max

I use foam then floor adhesive covered with sand and then airbrush with raw sienna an umber until it is what I want works great.

Wow Maxart, bringing home dirt from Africa is illegal. good job getting past customs. I have tried and was scoulded. they say the dirt from Africa has anthrax spores and hoof and mouth disease. don't eat it. LOL

Mossyback, I didn't try and bring any back but they found it in my bowcase and boot's, missed my connection home because custom's made me take the case apart so they could sterilize everything in it, including all footware that made contact with soil.
