Hi guys, I'm wondering make a western lego vid but I'm having problems with the set. So i need some help with it.
I watched this vid and liked the set, mainly the ground.

If someone could help me i'd be glad!
Thanks!
That looks like a bunch of clay, so it shouldn't be too hard to make. But I don't know how much that amount of the stuff would cost... 
If you're looking for building techniques this MOC would be a good place to look. (The ground in that MOC looks a lot better and a whole lot less messy than clay to me.)
Im just filming a lego western at the moment with clay as a base material, I reckon you could buy enough to cover the area of a large baseplate for about £15. It works well especially as lego doesn't seem to have any large sandy coloured baseplates
However be prepared to spend a good amount of time cleaning lego out of the studs on bricks and minfigure legs.

This baseplate comes in tan. It's the second largest solid-color baseplate that comes in a modern color.
I wouldn't use clay if I were you. I'd use a tan baseplate, it looks more rough and sand-like. Clay is better for smooth stuff that moves a lot, like water.

There are also some tan baseplates with designs on them
