The first thing to do is to think about what you would like your mountain to look like. Well you can get loads of ideas from Google and other sites with regards to size and colour. These pictures can give you a prototype mountain from which you can model your own. From the example shown you get can get a good idea of the formation and the differing colours on the mountains.
After the plaster has dried then you can start to think about painting it. You will get an idea of the colours that you will need from your photo. You will probably need various greens, grey, black, white and some browns. You should consider what your predominate colour is and then use that as a base coat and then you can build up all of the other colours by taking into consideration the differing colours from your prototype pictures. Once you have finalised your painting then you can finish off your model by adding model grass,lichen and moss.
