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

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!

Best of luck with the rest of the dio!!Cheers,Shay
