Thank you! Rick: Its made from wood. Some times household shops etc. have wooden boards for a good price - cost me 5€ in this case. |

 Ah okay - this is made from white glue, a little bit (!) of water and bird sand. For me, this is the most simple way to create convincing ground work. As you can see, its quite uneven here - its the first layer. The 2nd layer is thinner than the 1st one, so the result is more smooth in the end. While the mixture is wet, you can add small grass tufts and small rocks (in this case made from small cork pieces). |

FINALLY... The last weeks have been busy busy because of my move to another home. Now most things are done, and the bench (situated in the kitchen - sth. completely new for me) is ready for action. The table is something special, its from my home where I grew up, so this is really an old and special one. Please note the bench surviving kit aka coffee machine on the right! P-47 ready to continue...  |
