That's looking nice. I like the grass as is. It has a nice overgrown look to it.

Looks very good as is (I'm assuming the rocks are still to paint?)  :-* :-*

To me the grass looks fine, it reminds me of a fair few areas in the Lake District when I've been out walking there with me dad  8)

The grass looks great imho, a nice mix of colours and textures, the sort of realistic unkept look I see on mounds when walking about in Ireland.
With the exception of adding a few wild flower tufts on top, I wouldn't change a thing about it if it was one of mine.

Top notch work.

As they said: Great work. I want one as well! Gee, another thing on the to-do list. Looks absolutely gorgeous and leave the grass the way it is. It looks great!

It looks great as it is!
 :-*

No harm in throwing a little flowery type stuff into the mix, though.
With or without, I would be very happy with it.
In fact: In could do with one of those for Strange Aeons....thanks!  >:(

That looks great. Look forward to seeing it finished, although it doesn't seem too far off.

That looks great. Are you able to take the top of to see a inside. That would be awesome.

Looks great! I'll join in the chorus and say the grass is fine like that, too ;)

Looks suitable sinister. Decide on the grass once the rocks are painted/highlighted.

That is a SPLENDID looking terrain piece. The weedy appearance definitely fits the Barrow Mound persona...lots of soil enriching nutrients there. GREAT WORK!
