Up a dry wash

A couple pics on the area I've been working on. I will be adding some bushes here and there.

Nicely done! What did you use in the wash?

Thanks. I used sifted dirt mixed with play sand to lighten the color up a bit.

Not bad looking. Do you plan to add a river there (looks like a cut with the bridge in the background). For a dry dirt look I made a really cool mix out of plaster and color pigment that works great.
Here's what it ended up looking like

Dave, looks like that works. Looks good.

A couple pics looking downstream of the wash. These might give a clue of what I have forgotten to do and needs to be delt with before the next big desert rains begin, which I hope will be a while.
I have forgotten to have an outlet for the water coming out of the hills and the tracks at the far end could be washed away. Gonna have to start thinking about that.

You talking about a drain like these?

I made these from hydrocal. I made a styrene master then a mold and I cast them from hydrocal. I'm really happy with the way they turned out and I'm thinking about selling them if there is enough interest.
