One of our club members is also a wargamer and made stone walls and bridge the same way as this...VERY effective, very easy, very cheap but the finished product doesn't look easy or cheap

Now that the entire landscape was painted brown, small items such as fences could be placed.
The posts were sawn from fireworks rockets and stirrers were used for the planks.
The fences were inserted into the landscape by using nails at the bottom of the posts.
The paths and entrances were covered with grit from the model train shop.

In the photos, you’ll have recognized some twisted copper wire trees.
For these and all shrubs I have grown seafoam (Teloxys aristata) in our garden.
You can find more about growing sea foam yourself in the March 2023 issue of Slot Car Magazine and issue 2/2023 of the German magazine Car-On-Line.
Here are a few photos about that theme:
After the grass was ready, all the trees were placed in the landscape.

Now it's starting to look like a scenic track:

Looking at the second pic immediately reminds me of Ballaugh Bridge on the TT course
That's on old photo as the Railway Hotel has been called The Raven for years

Hi Kevan,
It's nice to see that a photo of Slot Rally Hill evokes these kinds of similarities.
But it's a coincidence, because I hadn't Ballaugh Bridge in mind, when I made this part of the track.
Anyway, thank you for posting the photo.
