I used AK Interactive Light Earth https://www.greatescapegames.co.uk/online-store/ak-diorama/ak8021 and then applied Gamer’s Grass tufts:

Then the fun bit: pigments. I did them in the following order. Slap it on.

North Africa Dust https://www.greatescapegames.co.uk/online-store/weathering/ak/ak041

Sienna Soil https://www.greatescapegames.co.uk/online-store/weathering/ak/ak140

Middle East Soil https://www.greatescapegames.co.uk/online-store/weathering/ak/ak00147

Pigment Fixer https://www.greatescapegames.co.uk/online-store/weathering/ak/ak00048

I really love the pleasing texture and blend of the three pigment shades.
