Hi all
Well after my disaster of a day in the AFV department...and thank you all for your words of support a few glasses of Single malt a nice cigar and everything is wonderful.
I have posted a few pics of the work i have been doing on the track adding different colors to get some depth will do some highlights next and more toneing down of the grass in the center of the track tried putting a bit of senic color on the wall of the bridge bit more to add,going to start work on the bank infront of the bridge.
I have decided to have the scene set when finally Gen Burnside gets the Union troops across the bridge.
Any feed back would be great Cheers Chris

Looks fantastic. I love how you "chewed" up the ground. Whatever technique you're using, DON"T STOP!!!

Great looking, Chris!

If it is really muddy, consider spackling a little mud-spatters on the grass right near the wear-N-tear. And of course on the bridge.

That wisteria(?) really adds to the bridge! I hope my dioramas will look this good.

Nice work Chris it is going along well... My personal preference to the grass in the center of the road would to break it up just a bit, it looks a little to perfect at least from what I see. The chewed up road looks like a bumpy ride, and the vine is a great touch. Nice work, anxious to see the rest!

Nice work mate.However i have just had a terrifying vision...when ever i see your bridge there is an image of your naked self running across it.(see past posts)
And you thought there would be some who would forget.I'm going to the doctor in the morning mate,i think these paint fumes have got my mind playing tricks on me.... again!! :-)
Best of luck with the rest of the dio!!Cheers,Shay
