Part 31 – The Planting Begins…………
March 31, 2009
Now on to the scenics……….
The scenics are made from a mixture of Noch, Gaugemaster, Peco and various packets of ground scatter. I have treid to
create a look of overgrown but still used. The flowers are made using tiny bits of foam which are sprinkled over clumps of grass
randomly. I use a 60/40 PVA mix to lay the bulk gradually building the scenery over a few layers. Once I am happy with the
landscaping i spray a large amount of extra firm grip hairspray over the entire area to hold anything not already fixed by the
vast amounts of watery PVA down.
Overall landscaping ( the gap is for the platform to go into)
The tunnel heavily overgrown with many small flowers and plants. There will be more greenery around this structure in the
future consisting of Ivy and climbing plants but will not complete it until the building is complete and i have laid the fence and
ground layer on the second level.
The waste ground will have waste items and old rusty metal bits laying around on it. It will still be in use but just not looked after.
Some wagons in the landscape………..on the spur…
