Starting to add folage to get a feel for the look of the scene,grass between cobbles will come shortly

Looking the part Stuart...


Rather than grass between the cobbles, can I suggest just using paint? This would get a nice gradual demarkation between the grass and the cobbles - just at the edges, leaving the rest of the cobbles clear of growth.......How about going in and out, wavy like to remove the straight lines between the cobbles and greenery?


Over to the studio.. !

I have added a bit of green to the edges of the path and a little between the stones,I don't think I went to far with it I just hope it looks ok as I am not confident I have succeeded the right look.

looking good, Stuart ,makes a big difference with the moss in the cracks,well done,

 

[Guest]

This is coming along very nicely Stuart.

 

[spanner570]

Stuart, that, in my opinion, is spot on. It's taken the sharp edges away very nicely. It's little detail like that, that makes all the difference, and turns an average model into the start of a top notch build.


Well done that lad!

Those trees are excellent Stuart as Monica says they are quite hard to get right and look in scale.

Can you stop taking picks of you're back garden and pretending it's some dio or something.
