Another job on the list!

It seems like a long time that I have been dealing with the vegetation of these scenic sub-bases but I am just about there now! No more dealing with green stuff for a while. That dream was shattered though when Mrs. Woody reminded me that it would soon be time to start planting seeds in the greenhouse! Another job on the list!

Anyway, forgetting about that job for a while until it returns to Mrs. W's mind, the last section on my layout to do at the moment is the one that runs up at the edge of the baseboard. Originally in one piece but due to the weight and weakness of the thin part of the structure it is now in two parts. Dealing with the smaller part first I had this bare patch of grass to work with.

My Last Great Project

Moving it to a more comfortable to work on position, it benefitted from some fencing and bushes done in the same way as described in recent posts.

Put back on the layout it looks good - to me anyway! Must put some track in place on that point. That's a job on my own list of jobs to do!

Moving onto the second part, I had to use some masking tape along the length of the narrow part to stop the glue running down the back. I then added some ground foam.

The wider part was again treated to some fencing - the last that I have of this old Triang product - before general bushes, shrubs and unkempt vegetation were added.

With that done it was back on the layout.

My Last Great Project

With all the green sub-bases back on the baseboard it looks very different to a couple of months ago. I say green sub-bases as there is still one sub-base to make right at the back of that baseboard but that will be more of a civil engineering one in brick.

Another job on the list!

I just need to bed the barn and tree bases in and then that's it - for the moment anyway but no doubt there will be another job on the list - or maybe more!
