MDF Backscene432 viewsI have added on the MDF backscene to the layout. At the moment is is bare, but I have found a very friendly company called "LMS Printing" who are printing a large panorama that will strectch from one end of the layout to the other. This will allow for a seamless printed backscene, for a very small cost (only £16 inc delivery for an 100" long sheet).%700 %24, %2009

Feilds no more.297 viewsI decided that the grassy plains up on the hill looked too green and fresh for a semi desert, and also looked very monotone. As such I have added a layer of sand to the hill tops to make the grass look alot more patchy. Personally I think it looks alot better%700 %24, %2009
