Hey all you newbies (and old hands)...Look what Jarrell did. You can too. Get out there and do it.... Jarrell, Nice Job!! Permit me a couple of suggestions. These are offered as a helpful (albeit uninvited) tips for an already very nice scene. 1. Deep six the lichen. It is so 1950's....Seriously, it can be used as an armature for some bushes but looks pretty unrealistic for most stuff. Use it sparingly and prune the heck out of it. Suggestion: Buy some scenic express supertrees and use the left over armatures for bush stems and cover them with foam or foliage of your choosing. The starter set is a killer deal at around $40.00 (he gives you tree armature material for lots of trees, several forceps, lots of foliage, glue etc.) Theses trees look better than most on the market and you can use the left over stuff for all kinds of ground cover as well (you will have leftovers). 2. Field grass....this is a tough one. I would try squashing the grass down as if mashing a paint brush straight down on a table. Then I would trim off most of the grass to a lower height and thin it a bit. Prune off the strands that are at funny angles. Some of your strands are scale 5 feet high, these could be cut back... All in all very well done.
