With the grout sealed and the resin river sections poured it was time to move onto adding greenery and foliage to the boards. For the sake of consistency I followed the same process as for my Alma and Wagram boards. First up was a base layer of 2mm Woodland Scenics static grass; mostly Medium and Light Green with a pinch of both Harvest Gold and Straw:
I varied the mix slightly in each load so that it wasn't too homogenous. After the base layer was set, I did quick patches of 4mm Peco Summer mix:
For variation in texture, I sprinkled some Scenic Express SuperLeaf (a mix of medium Green, Light Green and a lesser amount of Moss Green):
For some scattered shrubs I used Woodland Scenics Bushes in Dark and Light Green, as well a few homemade ones:
The end result:
The 6 river section boards and the 4 new plain boards got this treatment. The bulk of the hard work is done. I just have to paint some resin onto the swampy areas and the minor waterways. If I had been more on the ball and paid more attention I could have done the swamp areas and minor waterways at the same time as the rivers as one of the boards got it's swampy section flocked over. So the next step is to remove some of the static grass and paint down some resin followed by tufts to represent boggy ground.
