Over the weekend, I spent a lot of time trying to explain where I purchased some Chinchilla sand from.
The sand is ideal for modelling as it's clean and very, very fine.
For modellers, it has the added advantage that it's stupidly cheap too.
I have used the stuff for fine sand on a beach in it's unpainted form. It's also been pressed into service anywhere I need to add a bit of texture to the ground cover so I mix it in paint, plaster and even ash.
Most people were interested to know where it came from and here I got the facts a bit mixed up. I remembered £2.46 for a litre.
It's actually £2.75 for 1.5 litres. Including delivery.
My pack came from MedicAnimal.com I hope this helps anyone looking for it.
