Bloody good, mate.

Do you want to borrow my flymo?

Holy crap! Using so much grass must be costing you a bundle. Damned if it isn't worth it with results like that!

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #139 on:** 26 March 2014, 07:13:10 AM »

Thanks chaps

Yeah, it'll cost a bit but so what

I'm going to put a couple of trees on the top or a round one of the sides and some bushes but no sheep

What are the flowers, they look so real!

Mininature purple ones although I think I might have a go making my own as they are a bit too regular

cheers

James

As I said, you don't need my help. :-)

Let me just add that the principle for wild lush grass (as opposed to cropped or cut) is to keep it taller and darker around trees and rocks, in dells and and ditches. Where it is worn, flat and dry it should be flatter and more yellow. To alternate between these two makes for a very natural look. Which is pretty much what you have achieved.

I have some pic examples and grass product brands I use but my web hotel is giving me trouble so I can't post them right now.

Rather spiffing

Lovely mate!

Where's the long grass from? I need a square mile or so further on for the Herring project

Nice grassy hole.

Nice mate! Those trees you talk of will really make that look the dogs danglies!

..or talk to, as it were. This is Middle Earth after all.

Thank you kindly chaps

More grass added but it does get a bit boring after a while

Tree in the dark patch where the flowers are and probably another one further round the back. I'm also thinking a couple of shrubs on the front left

cheers

James

Whats all this talk about flowers and shrubs and stuff?
Ya big Southern Jessie!

Anyway, have you got time to mess about with poncy flowers and stuff?
Shouldn't you be spending your time on Mars....?
