The PVA dried nice and clear so it was given a coat of clear gloss varnish and that's dried nicely so last night I grassed the field between the beck and railway, its a rougher field than the one further up the hill so a different mix of fibres was used, more paler summer green than spring and some medium straw, I've given all the fibre mixes a name, this one is 'p!55 poor pasture'... I followed this in a few small patches with a very small amount of lush green, I think it's worked well.- 217 replies

The resin was nice and dry lateish last night so I gave it a stippled coat of neat PVA and that too is now almost dry, I'll leave this as long as possible then it might get a coat of gloss varnish to seal it.- 217 replies

Bit more progress tonight, down towards the beck. The bit behind the platform is well looked after, this isza mix of 2 parts short spring and 1 part short lush green. Well, you can't blame me, I did shut the gate...- 217 replies

Made a tentative start on a bit of grass over the weekend and it seems to have gone well, all Green-Scene fibres, I prefer these as the seem to be the only ones that are just single colours with no red and blue fibres mixed in. There's medium spring green, a little medium straw, a tiny bit of long straw and a touch of short lush green in the base, Layered on to that towards the hedge is a light sprinkling of 50/50 medium spring and long straw. Over this is a little bit of different green scatters. The hedge isn't fixed yet and may get adjusted a bit.- 217 replies

A bit more road surface done, around the station building and along to where a pair of gates lead on to the platform. I've added some stones to the bed of the beck, these are the larger bits of grit from the sharp sand. And a bit of a dam just above the ford.- 217 replies

Started on the road surface on board 1, even coat of fairly thick pva covered with chinchilla dust, when dry and swept off it should sand down to a nice fine texture. Also made a start on the bed of the beck, dried and sieved sharp sand, the smaller grade on to pva and the larger grit will be added later to represent the larger stones.- 217 replies

If you put a hill like that on a fictitious layout no one would believe you... And I'd certainly rather live at the bottom of the hill if I'd been in the three pubs.

First experiments with making hedges tonight, horse hair and a couple of different scatters, I think it's gone quite well, the sheet of hair is about an inch thick so a half inch-ish wide strip was cut off and this torn in half, it was a bit regular so I rolled it between my hands which opened it out a bit, I'd tried teasing it out but it easily became a bit too open. The piece was about 8 inch long and I stuck a skewer through one end so it could be sprayed with spray mount then the bulk of the green scatter sprinkled on, next a coat of matt varnish then a bit of lighter mixed scatter and another coat of varnish, they will need a bit more work and trimming and it should be OK.- 217 replies
