Sandy Lake & Northern misc builds, etc.

I'll put the scenery photos here, since they cover more than just the farm area.  

So first I covered the plaster cloth with Sculptamold thinned by paint, so it's not stark white.  They I glued the Noch grass mat over the farm pasture area, but not over that sliver of land between the tracks.  I thinned out the grass mat, spraying with water to soften the glue, then scraping away the grass in spots, as well as along the road at the side of the barn.  Then I applied static grass, a mixture of green and beige colors and lengths.  I glued in some tufts, too.  

On the hill, I applied static grass over the painted Sculptamold, then added tufts and shrubberies.  I'll probably add a few trees here, but right now I'm not quite happy with this.  I think it needs some more vertical shrubs (think small trees).  

But the farm bridge over the tracks looks good.

Dave, that looks very good.

What I noticed when driving to VT looking at roadside cuts, is right at the top of the cliff there's a lot of tall skinny weeds/shrubs.  And those tend to be more brown than green.  I'm not sure anyone makes a particularly good product for that.  There were also a fair number of short (4'-6') pine trees interspersed with the tall weeds.  So that's what I'm thinking about today.

Dave,

The added scenery really looks good. The scene is coming together nicely.
