They all look beyond fantastic Jos! I'm finally doing it again, making good progress. Will post pics when I can. Time to start twisting wire again! :)

Hi Jos. I just haven't been working on it lately. Just too many other things going on. I'm carving some rocks/scenery pieces, off the layout so I can get the detail in them. Couldn't do it if the pieces were in place. But I'm stuck with one section...the same part you made some drawings of...

They look great Jos, as usual! :D

Congratulations Jos!

Jef, I know I saw a how-to/tutorial showing how you made your streetlights, but I cannot find it here. Was it on another site? Also...was wondering how you did your asphalt roads and concrete parking lot? Fantastic work. From the photos, you would think it's a much bigger layout. Thanks!

Very nice! :D More impressive all the time, Jos!

Love the new trees, Jos, especially the tall pine. Nice.

I used a couple pours of Envirotex for my base as well. Then I used the Artist's Acrylic gel mediium/gloss, and painted the ripples on top of the Envirotex. My preference is a very small brush. The "river/stream" is coming from the right...tumbling through a rapids, so I tried to mimic the...

Here's another frame, Jos. The single end wire at the top got "crimped", almost detached, so I put some epoxy over it. Have to be careful, but I think I can finish the tree. This one is slightly smaller.

Thanks, Jos! Yes, I did use the sawdust, just painting the glue/water mix over the main stem and where the branches join. Going to start work on a few more. Thanks again, man! :D When I make the next few, I'll take photos to show what I'm doing with the stem.

What do you think Jos? My first two efforts.

This is my "riverbed" before the Envirotex. I did the blue & sand color with an airbrush. It's a flat surface otherwise, except for a "soup" of hydrocal for the bottom.

Envirotex Lite with ripples painted on afterwards with Artists Acrylic gel medium. (Sparkles added with Photoshop)

Jos has shown earlier in this thread some of his methods. :)
