Can you post some step by step pictures so that we can all learn how you do the scenery

I will try to do some more step-by-step photos in future because I know it's helpful when people do this. The only problem I have is that I often make things up as I go along and I'm groping forwards with my methods just as much as anybody else.  A lot of my work is more art than science I suppose, as that's my background. I've read the obvious books by Barry Norman of Petherick fame,  Tony Hill, Martyn Welch,  the creator of the incredible Hursley  and the brilliant Gordon Gravett. I met Tony Hill a long time ago and was entranced by his work on landscapes. Anyway point taken, and I will try to be a bit more methodical in the way I take the photographs because I always appreciate it when other people give clear explanations.

The colouring of that stone work is spot on, very nice indeed.

Thanks very much!  Its a real pleasure doing the colours on the stone. I like to use artist's oil paints some of the time.

Each time you post a picture it gets even more realistic. I have a back scene to paint as well and seeing what you`ve done shows what can be achieved.

Really nice work.

Thank you very much, that's very kind!
