I've added some Springside swans and cygnets to the brook, and some water for them to swim around in. I've also got around to putting in the 5 foot fluorescent lighting fixture, which is attached to an L-shaped beam running across the entire 7 foot module frontage. I'm generally pleased with the way it's brightened the scene, but I haven't eliminated shadows on the backscene from the big tree. They're softer than before, as you'd expect, but I still need to do a bit of work to make them less obtrusive. I think I can probably do so by adding background trees directly against the backscene to absorb the shadows, rather than have the big tree standing stark against the sky, as nice as that looks.

I've also begun adding some details to this little crossing gate scene around the concrete bunker - note S&D warning sign (from a Roger Smith sheet), picked up at the Cardiff show - just the ticket! There's also a proper S&D sign on the gate. Ultimately I'd like to make region-specific details such as this easily removable (maybe by having them plug into receivers in the scenery) so that I can change the location as when I like.
