steve fay Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Small additional details, Polak and Modelscene bushes added today. A few more spruce trees from GModels also arrived, once the MBR trees arrive I will use the spruce trees a little more sparingly all over the layout. Track base sprayed with Howes Sleeper Grime. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Repositioning a few trees last night. Another forest in a box kit ordered this time I’ll use these as individual trees to fill in along the back to blend in to the backscene. Until the MBR trees arrive none of the current trees are permanently fixed. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 A little splash of colour. There will be plenty of scrub type bramble blackberry bushes to hide the join from scenic board to backscene but my preferred supplier ( Polak ) are currently out of stock. I do have some coming from MBR along with another 20 trees but I’m guessing that order will be a month or two away yet. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 One of my trees was looking a little undernourished in the foliage department so I’ve given it a coating of the same noch 2.5mm summer meadow grass. I think it’s come up very nice. I’ll be doing a few more like this. Blends in better with the printed trees on the backscene as well 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure I've been in those trees loads of times when playing golf at Sonning.....I'm sure the trains must get hit occasionally as the line is so close to the course.... A really lovely piece of work.... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
