Ooooh!  Shocked  That mixer looks great on the little diorama.  The natural backdrop really shows off all the detail and finishing on the mixer in a nice context ... really "looks right."  -- Dallas

Gordon, excellent! so far I would agree that a little variety in the vegetation would add a whole new level to this model.

Looks great!

One thing I would suggest is try to work in some of the taller grassy clumps closer to the edges. Right now there appears to be a "grass-less" area all around the edge of the layout.

Man that does look sweet Marc. Love the plywood, and think you got the edges down pretty darn good. I'm still trying to paint a pallet and here you are making plywood  Shocked

I felt quite happy with my experiment technique for scale duct tape last night.

Sorry, can only show an extreme close-up/cropped detail shot.

Dallas,
You have too much time on your hands for bizarre web image surfing.

Marc,
Nice tape.  Is it a model, or a pic of the drivers seat from your first car?
