Just getting caught up on this one. What a cool project! And I agree on the grass and mats you got there. That stuff is amazing! Can't wait to see some of it in place.

LOL...no winterizer my friend!!! As for street value, all depends...is it going to Southie? As promised, a little taste!!  The flowers are a bit trickier to place so I popped down some clumps and tufts and stick a couple flowers, back-n-forth. ;D Still playing catch up with myself at the moment! Hope to plug away at this later tonight! Thanks for stopping by!! |

Thank you clay! Hopefully more grass growing tomorrow, maybe read to put out to pasture by the weekend! I didn't get much bench time tonight Reading some manuals and misdirections for some possible future stuff! Necessary evil sometimes |

Thank you G, JT and 28...sorry for the late response...crazy time of year!! Here is where I stand on this....I know you guys like piccies!! I think the grassy stuf is done for now!  As for the Silflor...GREAT! the ease at which it goes down is beyond compare!! If you have or get the chance to pick some up....do it!     Thinking just one...maybe two things I need to finish up to make me sort of happy here. Depending on how quickly and efficiently I clean the house tomorrow will depend on whether or not I do these couple things!! I wish you all good tidings and cheer!! ;D Thanks you for stopping by!! |

The grasses and rocks make the tank look even more realistic ! T, maybe a bit of sandy pigments here and there ? I rate this a 12/10 !

Thanks G!! I think your right with the sandy mix "here and there" On the two item mini list! The infamous brick from the original pic needs to be painted too and placed!!! The light....it's there at the end of the tunnel..I do see it ;D |

Hey T. Looks great bro. I knew you'd like the Silflor stuff. Man that's another great model, with a base in just a couple of months. Your on a roll. I think you and CS build at the same rate.
