Test / Photo Plank: Greenery

Continuing with the test plank, time to add some scenery…

A generous coating of PVA and some coarse flock
Topped up with fine scatter.
Hoover off the excess and it looks OK
Add more scatter and some secondhand bushes
Decide I don’t like the colour of the bushes so cover them in scatter
Apply some static grass.
So far, so good..

    Like your walk the plank for scenery stages, but you need to look at the enlarged pictures to appreciate what you have done, looking good. it amazes me just how many layers we now use, 50 years ago it was just a couple of layers of different grades and colours of sawdust with litchens of different shades. Must say I like your article on your mine layout in Continental Modeller top job well done keep up the good work.

      Glad you like it and I agree the thumbnail images don’t show you much. I guess they let you decide if you want to see more.
      Layer upon layer of scenery does seem to be a trend at the moment, perhaps we are making it too complicated….
      Thank very much for your comments on the article in CM. I was very pleased with the artistic page layouts Andrew Burnham created. I could never do that!
      Cheers

  2. This looks fabulous! I enjoyed the step-by-step approach in your photos, across these posts, and can see the progression. I like the tie colour you’ve achieved and LOVE the layered textures in the scene as this develops.

    Well done!

    • Hi Chris,
      Thank you! Very kind of you!
      At the moment I like posting a series of photos – it seems more effective that writing lots of words 🙂
      All the best
      Steve
