Scarpia's MINIVerse - Model Railroading

Test Layout 2

Work in progress

continued from page 8

Terrain

More coverage along the back hill

And along the front, a few groves of trees along the layout edge. I left the center area open so I'd have access to the switches. That's a starter fence going in.

Back to the pond, once it had dried all the way, a good vacuuming took up most of the loose grass.
And a fence was erected from the tool shed to the edge. Note the beginning of a scrap pile.
Tool shed and office
another gratuitous action shot.
The fence continues to grow, toothpick posts and left over wood from a craftsman kit.
This area is beginning to look a bit better.
More greenery planted around the pond.
 
Back over on Fither's Bend, I thought I'd try out my hand with the Pot Toppers from Micheals again. First up was gluing them down in a rough pattern (torn into little pieces, with the bottoms seperated).
Next up was adding a flock mix around the tufts. The brush was used to remove the flock from the tufts before gluing.
And glued down.
From a different view point
The next day, with the glue dried, here's how it looks.
I think there is a lot of potential for this product.
The fence got a couple of coats of paint
Seen from across the water...
Back to the Pot Toppers, you can see how they improve in appearance as the back gets filled in.
The fence received a light hint of gray drybrush.
v And the pond is looking better every day.
