I used Tamiya acryl colors, together with Gunze acryl colors and Revell enamel paint for the mat finish.  Weathering is done with the help of MIG pigments, and Tamiya weathering sets.

The base is a wooden black painted MDF plate, with a plexi-glass hood, preventing the dust from the model, this came from Tamiya. The ground work is done with the help of Heki grass, beach sand, and Joefix vegetation.  The fence is scratchbuilt from styrene and stretched sprue.
