All looking good Bob. Will it be all mud or will there be some grass, flowers etc to go with the tree?

Hi Bob
Great start on the base. For your tree what is the wire armature covered with?

Steve, there will be grass, bushes and maybe a few flowers.

Jim, at that stage I had coated it in AK wet mud, but since then I've gone over it with grout which has been painted brown then dry brushed with grey.

Currently I'm trying to get clump foliage on it, but I'm having trouble getting it to stick.

Finished the tree and stuck it on the base. It came out ok, not great, but it will do for a first attempt.

Also got the first bit of static grass down (2mm). I've got various lengths of other grass to go over it.

More grass, and a couple of bushes.

Very impressive Bob! I can hear the birds singing in the trees and the sound of the Panther engine coming up the lane. Great stuff

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Steve.

[Mr Bowcat]

It's done.
