Hi all

Started placing some grass on the bank in front of the bridge will do some detail work under the fallen tree so that it does not look as if its floating more work on the track and the rocks in the bank and tone down some of the green on the track more tufts and different colors to go in.
Any comments good or bad would be great.
Cheers Chris

Think it will look very good once you´ve painted it, now it seems a bit too plastic green for my taste.

I really like the lay out here Chris, the grass looks great except as Andreas has mentioned it looks a little "plasticy"(the darker stuff) but Im no expert. I like the different levels, really makes the eyes wonder.

Looking good so far Chris. Work in progress, I doubt wether I need to say anything. Just remember mother nature loves diversity! Break up the grass with other plant life. You are in good shape, keep it up looks great!
