Thanks for that. I realised early on that this section was key to the whole layout. As this area will hopefully, show the ruggedness of Dartmoor. And more importantly, show Bovey Tor's tor, in all its glory. So I decided it would be very useful to build this whole section as a separate module. Then it can be worked on up close, instead of reaching across the whole board. And then give it the same level of detail as the buildings.

RMweb Premium Popular Post Gedward Posted June 7, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Happy to be finally at the static grass stage. But first we need a layer of the finest Devonshire soil. Using my recipe of dried soil from the garden plus pigments and grout. Next will add larger particles etc. And then on with the grass.

It's just a matter of adding them gradually till you get something suitable. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Gedward Posted June 8, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Still loads to do, but am quite pleased with the progress so far. Have layered an early spring grass on top of a faded straw colour. Next we need to get all the stones embedded in. Build walls etc. Then lots of longer grasses, weeds, bushes etc. Edited March 24, 2023 by Gedward Editing copy and typos 16 12 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
