Planting bushes!

The green fingered work of WMD continues with yet more bushes and shrubbery appearing on the scenic sub base that I am working on at the moment. Although it is a bit long winded and to some degree repetitive I find it both therapeutic and fulfilling. You can just loose yourself without having to be too worried about accuracy after all there is no blue print for a bush! You also see rapid progress as a scene you have created from scratch comes together and forms part of the small World that you are creating. That is part of what the hobby is about!

Todays efforts have been concentrated around the edge of the cutting where the fence has been placed and then beyond towards the tarmac area that will be part of the goods yard. Luckily, bushes have decided to grow over the fence in places where two panels of fencing join therefore conveniently hiding the joints. Marvelous thing nature!

Where some of the PVA glue has run down the cutting face I used some of the scatter powders that I used for the bushes to rub into it giving the effect of vegetation growing in the cutting face from the bush above.

Beyond the fence, the bushes continue and this is a photo of the Woodlands Scenic Poly Fiber product cut to size, glued to the edge of the cutting and then covered in PVA glue before a variety of mainly green scenic products are scattered over it.

Leading to this which I am pleased with!

In fact I am pleased with it all so far!

And, in place on the layout, it looks great!

There is still more to go before it is all finished like that near six foot length to the right of the picture where it looks very mundane!
