Carl, I didn’t do any moss but I did add some orange lichen - small dabs of PVA sprinkled with curry powder and sealed with hairspray when dry.

Thanks for that, it looks far more natural, think I’ll have a play around with mine.

Unfortunately there has been insufficient progress to warrant posting an image, a few coal wagons now with a load (as inspired by other members here) and a bit of a coffee stirrer foot crossing and fencing.

As an aside I thought that the two images present an interesting comparison.

Neptune Street Quay side.

Needless to say my first fish boxes and net crates are on order, but it looks like I’ll need dozens as well as a few lorries. Looks like the local constabulary is making diligent enquiries :lol:

It would appear you can’t put too much in a goods yard.

That looks very authentic Carl - love how it has all come together and you can really see the attention to detail and effort you have put into it over the many months…….. perhaps just needs something tied up at the quay side to help complete the picture.
