The base was a bit of this:

Scrap cork board



Then by adding some of these:

Very useful item recommended by Matakishi




And a handful of these:





We end up with is:


A minor piece of scenery but very quick and easy which are two prerequisites for me :)

Don't hesitate.  Very solid, effective build and techniques.

Yeah, I’ll echo the others, that turned out quite well. I would be pretty happy to have more of my gaming terrain looking like that.

Thanks everyone. It really was very easy and quick.

This is what I did it for:

A path leading to a greenhouse which is nurturing some very strange plants. :)

Roo - are you now living in Cornwall?

Quite nice, and it gives me some inspiration for a similar project that I have in mind.

A lovely bit of work, I need something doing like that in 1:1 scale, if you can spare a few days!

Seems, almost too simple - you're not leading us down the garden path on this are you?

Nice work.  :)

I remember a sentence in a book at school when they were trying to teach us to speak English (to us French native speakers) “there is a thrush in the path“.  lol
