    Thanks Eric.
    Rob.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Work slowly progresses whilst I await some much needed plasticard.

    Today's stage was spraying the bases Earth brown, re applying watered down PVA when the surface had dried, and then dusting with grass scatter.

    Today I have been mainly making hedges!
    First paint some string brown.
    Coat with dilute PVA.
    Then dust with green scatter.
    Finally hang up to stretch and dry.

    Made from a simple length of string. Good idea!

    Many (at least in Germany) have dealt with model railways, mostly at 1:87 scale (HO). It is beyond belief what wealth of kit can be bought for building the landscape, houses, etc. But for SoG, the scale is much different and building landscape at the SoG scale is much rarer. Thus, one has to come up with some good ideas for some things just like you did.
