Here I am working on the final placement of the "T" and the WW1 pilots on their landscaping module.I kind of like this arrangement as it allows some space for the viewer to be included.I also like the idea of the back of the leg of the Patton figure just touching the Fords tire.Why? I really don't know.I just think it looks cool.

Foundation underbrush.
I took a piece of wood wrapped it in waxpaper and used it as a simulated hangar foundation.I had originally built up a small mound a sand all around the hangar perimeter which left a nice little depression which I can now fill with vegetation.
There would naturally be more vegetation around the foundation as it is not as subject to wear and tear. I used different colors of what they call "underbrush" and then played around with adding turf here and there until it looked more natural.In the pic the glue mix (25/75 )has just been applied so it still looks a little whitish but by this morning it is completely transparent. The jar of underbrush on the right has had a little yellow ochre sprayed on it using the sieve/airbrush method.

Rocks
The rocks are crushed gravel from my backyard.They are separated as to size and glued down individually using carpenters(yellow glue) as I believe that it is a little stronger than white and transparency is not an issue here.The rocks have been heat sterilized like the dirt just in case of lurking critters.

I work my way slowly along the foundations edge spraying the alcohol /water mix and then soaking in the glue /water mix over top.
