Thought I would show the progress on this, took feedback and put it to use..Thanks..I've still a long way to go, but ,speaking for myself , Im very happy with it so far.
1st shot is the layout..

Next 3 are layout put to wood!


:-)

Looks pretty good to me. My only niggle so far is the vegetation. I would alter that. Unless they are ment to be evergreens, a bush usually has no leaves in wintertime. So I would change these.I like the layout though.

Hi GolikeII, Its not a winter scene. I used what I had and will be painting the whole thing over and weathering. A ways to go ..I,ll keep posting.

Looking good so far.
Few things to point out as you go. Next time you'll find it easier if you give your ground a base coat of color before adding anything to it. You can and I'm sure you will get the white out. I'd be easier if it was covered first.
I would also go ahead and put down almost a full layer of grass before you put down the bushes. This will give good full coverage and it will blend the vegitation together. With what you have I would recommend that you add some grass in around the bushes to fill in the line of clear ground around them. You could use some tall grass (brush bristles, AM stuff, twine) around the bushes.
I would take advantage of the lichens natural limb formation and use them like bush trunks. Paint them brown(s) and try to orient them as a natural bush would look.

If you are going to use an airbrush I would mask off the edge of your base so overspray doesn't get on it.

I think it looks good, nice color variations and nice texture variations too. Keep it up.

The other guys have addressed the ground cover. If these guys are coming out of hte car, as it appears they are, I'd sheathe the bayonets. Other than that, you have a nice little story going here and nice use of that car you showed us before.

I like the concept and look forward to seeing more. Where did you find the automobile? At a recent show in Dallas i found four 1:36th scale revell monogram "Automotive Pioneer" vehicles that i am using. Is this one from that series too?

KFMagee, The Model T is by RPM at 1/35. Thanks to all for the comments/Tips.
