Things are still wet and whitish looking and there is still more blending to do but here is an idea of how the perimeter will look when finished.

This pic gives you an idea of just how thick the foliage is along the foundation wall.

For a couple of nice Camels and a Jenny build.

Except for some tweaking here and there all four landscaping panels are now finished.
The pic above I took as sort of a "caught in the headlights"view.

Normally there would be a wood plank ramp laid down over the central door panel but obviously this aircraft will not be going anywhere for awhile .
I will put more wear and tear (tire impressions etc)in the area where the aircraft would be rolled out on to the ramp.Once I get it in the sunlight I will decide where more vegetation may be needed.
The whole thing looks a little vacant right now but I plan on adding a horse drawn wagon,wheelbarrow and other odds and ends off to the side of the front panel as I don't want to much there to distract the viewer from the main subject.The crashed Albatros will be added behind the L/H hangar door and won't be readily viewable from this angle.
