LAYOUT PHASE 2 -- PART 3: "Scenics"

After I laid down the track bed to get an idea of where everything would need to be, I took it off to put down some beautiful scenics.

1. Dish rags and dish towels make a great grass/foliage substitute.

2. I used old packing paper to make a base for the sandy beach.

3. Using cardboard, I made a lip so the sand won't go all over the floor.

4. The sand looked great.

(My supply of sand was running out quickly! I had underestimated how much I would need!)

5. I added Spanish Moss and Preserved Green Moss to many locations.

You will probably start seeing this layout appear in remakes, but don't expect the final "Behind the Scenes" post until spring. (I can't finish it because my supply of rocks from my gravel driveway is currently locked in under snow and ice.)
