Ive added some foliage combination of dried floral and aquaruim plants. I have not painted the the aquaruim plants yet I wanted to get your feedback on the layout of the vegetation. The small trees and bushes are dried flowers airbrushed foliage green colors. For some reason in the pics the foliage doesnt look as full as it does in person maybe the angle I took them at. In the next part I will have the water poured and the plants painted. Let me know if there is somthing I might change befor I press onward. Oh and one other thing how is this for a title (Another Day in the Bush) or (Humping the Bush).

Anybody out there. :-)

There's a great dio! and the ground work looks superb! Keep it up and keep us posted!
Cheers and happy modelling!

Hi Keenan,

Very interesting setup. Interesting idea and I always enjoy non-combat scenes. Fits the intended title well especially the first one. You could also consider "Another day in the Boonies".

As a small suggestion you might want to increase the grass in the back a bit more. Try to leave minimal gaps as grass growing near a water source and what appears to be away from shade grows fairly thick in the tropics. When you do paint them just paint the center of the clumps a bit darker shade of green to give the illusion that its dense.

The arrangement looks good though. Might want to add a fair bit more debris (dead grass, dried leaves, fallen small branches, etc). I think I might have a pic on the amount of ground debris in my Part I of my article.Don't know if its still possible but if you can just roughen the stream banks to give the impression of erosion. From the angle of the photo it looks a mite too straight edge.

Hope that didn't come out too critical on what is shaping up to be a very nice dio.

Lookin' good. Nice update. I like the grasses and variety.
One offering is to add a log or two that has fallen into the water. The impact of things sticking out of water is pretty cool.

Thanks CK and Slodder I will take youre ideas and put them to some use this is the kind of feedback i need it really helps me to improve.
