Thank you gents. Put the finishing touches on this morning and have taken a few pics now 
Base is one of Richard's (Oakwood) and DAS groundwork was painted first then dried ground up compost added before highlighting. and shading. After downloading various images of the Steppes I chose one I liked and blended three types of static grass to give the right colour. Final touch was to add a few extra long grass clumps and stems. (As always I found that PVA or static grass have a few shiny bits so I gave the ground a light coat of matt acrylic lacquer just to kill them a bit)
Nice to get this fella wrapped up at last. I'll also post a couple of other pics in the completed section.
Stay safe folks
Paul
