Base Ready Mars Sand
Recreate the fine, windswept surface of the red planet on your miniature bases with Base Ready Mars Sand from Geek Gaming Scenics. This premium, custom-blended basing mix combines fine sands and earthy aggregates — carefully selected for their distinctive Martian rust-red tone and smooth, sandy texture — delivering a convincing alien terrain finish, straight from the pot, with no painting required.
Finer and smoother than our Base Ready Mars Earth, Mars Sand is perfect for recreating the wind-blown, dusty surface of a Martian landscape — ideal for bases where you want a clean, sandy red-planet look without the chunkier gravel texture. Whether you're basing an Adeptus Mechanicus warband, building a Martian crater terrain board, or adding an alien, rust-red floor to a diorama, Base Ready Mars Sand delivers warm, fine, otherworldly tones that make your miniatures look truly at home on the red planet.

Tips
Tips
- For a more realistic effect, use a variety of different sizes and colours of Mars ground cover.
- You can also use different types of glue to create different effects. For example, white glue will create a more matte effect, while clear glue will create a more glossy effect.
- If you're using the Mars Sand on a large surface, you may want to apply it in sections. This will make it easier to control and ensure that the Mars Sand is evenly applied.
