Hey, thanks F1
here is another picture to show a couple things,
First is the mountains all painted. They are painted a custom mix of white ceiling paint and black tempura paint mixed into the paint.
Next is my first attempt at making some "bottle brush trees" the dead one is airbrushed raw umber with craft paint from Wal-Mart.
last this as well is my first attempt at weathering. Its a cheap old box car from e-bay and tried my hand at weathering. The logo/shield on the side, I tried to run the paint down the sides. It looks a little better in person to me anyhow.
The creek bed is a labor of love, I got a shovel full of gravel from my driveway and washed all the rocks. I then proceeded to sort the rocks. I took all round edged rocks out and then sorted by size. This works VERY well I may add. for a few hours work I have many many rocks that look just like talus.
Hope you enjoy
EDIT,... the trees are standing on a styrofoam base and just placed there. The hiway is right below the base
