Thanks Ken. OC.

Thank you kindly, I think I will leave that area of the building as it is then. OC.
-
Weathering done, but to be honest I am self critic-ing it - not sure if I have gone over the top? OC.
-
Your doing some great work my friend - its not easy trying to achieve scale accuracy and convert that into a working build. OC.
-
Evening all, not a lot to report - just a thin sheet of flashing added to the extension and its glued in place now, its still waiting on some blending dry brushing to link it together. OC.

Stunning work, dont beat yourself up over the figure painting - its far harder to paint figures to look life like especially at smaller scales. OC.

Just done a side on view in Paint to show the gradient of the scenery or how it should be, just shows a rough guide to the slope of the grounds from the wall road towards the NW, its shows how I could display like a cut through view of the ground on the edge of my base. OC.

Thats called Fate Craig - it led you to finding them Two jems. OC.

What is attracting me towards the foam board shown above - is to be able to show nice sharp clean edges where they meet the display case sides, I would probably paint them an Earth colour to mimic cutting through a piece of ground. OC.

Thank you for the link Alan. OC.

Thank you Alan, it does look good - I have watched a few videos of it being used for scenery. OC.

I have seen this stuff even says it can be sanded to make contours and gradients - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266556642528?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20240131095853%26meid%3D49c2093ed2da43b9b9b6ed903ca8c204%26pid%3D101949%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D266556642528%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2Mobile%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p4375194.c101949.m162918&_trkparms=parentrq%3A5a061b6e18f0a0dc76e9ce35fffe4c82|pageci%3Aa22ccd1e-0d7e-11ef-919e-32f7db286d20|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage OC.

I have been studying that Styrene blocks that you can cut and sand to shape, need to check it out for later. OC.

Thank you for looking in Jim. OC.

I am very keenly looking at all the options for my landscape areas of my build, as I want to try to do a convincing job of it. OC.
-
Thank you kindly for explaining all that, my thinking for using ordinary copy paper is because I already have a ream of it to hand, I will be landscaping directly down onto my plastic base (Green in my photos) and the dimensions of the slope gradients are from 3mm at the end where it joins the paving section near the porch sloping up gradually towards the edge of the barn where it needs to be between 15 and 20mm, then sloping away to my Right where it needs to be about 25mm, so I was thinking starting off with my 3mm thick over the whole area, then page by page adding them graduating them to get the gradual slope or even a slight ridge where the slope might not be a perfect line but lightly rounded, also where it meets the log store extension I want the ground to slightly fall back abit with a nice rounded taper, not forgetting it will have the grass mat over the top of it so it should be plenty tough enough - and the weight does not matter as its weighty all over to be fair. But I have never done any scenery landscaping before - so its all a learning curve. I do appreciate your input and ideas brother as every little helps. OC.

To be honest I never got round to starting it - I passed it on to an other. OC.

Superb work Mike - All of it. OC.
