Lady Ferguson Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Denis it's superb. You've got so much right I don't know where to begin. But, I especially love the different grass textures and the weathering. The use of different lengths, colours and types of grass is inspired - in the wide shots you it's looks just like a real patchwork landscape. Have you put heather in the long grass? And the weathering is just right - so often it's over-done and the whole thing looks so dirty you wouldn't want to touch it, but you've taken each little scene and only weathered where needed. Oh and the telegraph poles - board pins I take it? Inspired... fantastic... what more can I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
