Looks very good Steve……. What did you use to achieve that effect ?

War World Scenics do a range of very fine coloured flock. I gave this patch of static grass a quick blast of hairspray then added a light sprinkle of flock using a tea strainer.
It will get a light hoovering when the spray has dried.

Looks very good - I like the flowers. I'll be happy just to get my grass growing

Think it needs mowing!

In another spurt of activity I planted a couple more of my garden prunings.

Aloe vera - great balm for cuts and bruises!

Looks great Simon.

Thank you.

Nothing to do with me, sadly ...

More planting this morning. Added some flowers to the tall grass clumps to represent purple loosestrife.

I’m also experimenting with a different coupling system. Bought a pack of Hunt couplings last week and have fitted them to a rake of coaches. They seem to hold together much better than ‘normal’ couplings on my undulating track. Yet to decide if I will fit them to the locos or whether I will fit Kadees at the ends of each rake.
