Sand Stone Rocks  painted, weathered and 'planted'. Still lots to do but at least the extension is starting to look some thing like.


I built the rocks using polystyrene and polyfiller plus a little air drying clay.


Under coated in white
Top coat Sandstone masonry paint
Weathered using runs of Citadel Reikland Flesh and Agrax Earth.

 











Oh, Dr Beeching what have you done?
There once were lots of trains to catch, but soon there will be none.
I'll have to buy a bike, 'cos I can't afford a car.
Oh, Dr Beeching what a naughty man you are!

Agreed - very impressive indeed.  I like the cave dwelling and also, the sulking couple not talking to each other - is he about to jump off ? :lol: :lol:

I have just finished the top and face of the sand stone rocks. I have still to finish cave (I am adding a Stalagmite made from plastic fork prongs and a light).

There is a 'bit of a flap on' at the moment, Lavender the lamb has managed to get herself stuck on a ledge, her worried mother looks on as a rescue is carried out……..







All bushes added now, I wanted some of the rock showing……..

Thanks Terry.

Adding the cotton (plus pinching it from my wife's sewing box with out her noticing) was the hardest bit to do.

You are a brave man, I was going to put a picture of a roast lamb dinner on Face Book but fear the animal rights fanatics  :mutley
