A river runs through it …

I have been diverted from painting figures by an unexpected urge to get the river finished.

I had a bit of time off-and-on this past week, and once I had got the basic colours on, and gloss varnished the water, it was a matter of applying flock, lump foliage, and tufts.

I am using Woodland Soil scatter from WWScenics, Footpath Scenes’ Grass Ground Cover Earth Blend and Grass Blend, with Basing Lump Foliage Battle Field Shrubs, all from Model Scenery Supplies. I have many different flower and grass tufts from a number of suppliers.

I want to have some 2mm MDF bases cut to fit the edge profiles for mounting some trees, and I’m planning stone and wooden bridges, and a ford.

The result is really quite satisfying. I am looking forward to seeing how it looks in use, but this is some time off.

Trevor Holland’s river set TH63, looking the part after quite a bit of work.
