Just make sure the items you put in the grass are 'in' it and not 'on' it. Add some varying lengths of grass around the objects.

well few objects are now floating on grass because I did not fix them yet but I will take care of that. Ivy on the shed will be redone cause I'm not quite satisfied with this one. Thanx on tip Scott , we say two pairs of eyes see more then one.

Looks good from where I'm sitting. I echo Scott - and you seem to follow his direction

Good luck with the 'finishing touches'

Hi there

I have seen some trees next to roads and footpaths where the grass does not want to grow so easily and other trees where there is quite long grass between the sap roots. It may be just an illusion with the pic angles here but the tree stump appears to be slightly floating on the grass rather than those main roots diving slowly underground. It might be nice to have the roots undermined near the road edge with some dirt and the other sides to have a little tall grass growing between the roots.

Either way the roots need to go underground at there ends and around the stump itself

The ivy is a nice touch to allow the yank to peep through less obviouse to the enemy. Is it still just the two yanks attacking or are you planning anyone else standing behind to follow through the attack?

Nice one

Hey Robert

These 80 - 90 mile an hour winds here in Scotland right now got me thinking. Dangerous I know!!!! The thinking that is. Have you got any fixings going through your tin roofing to hold it down onto the shed trusses? Yoy wouldn't need too many and you would just have to judge roughly where your trusses of the roof would be (anything from 400mm to 1000mm on home made shed).

All you would need is a nail or bolt through a curved plate in the troughs or on the tops or even a mixture passing into the roof truss below. It would also give you a chance to add a bit of rust and dirt staining where the bolts and plates are on the roof.

I knew I shouldn't had so many beans last night.

Thanx for posts guys,
1. yankeearty : I use mostly oils, some pastels and even some kind of impregnating color for wood.
regarding bullet holes : attack didn't commence yet so I don't think there should be any
2. Tim: thanx on comment
3. Nige : roof is not finished yet, I'm leaving it for end because still planing to put something in the shed; amo boxes or something, I did some modifications around tree stump but not finished yet

Cheers!
