Vegetation
Added 2024-03-25 20:39:56 +0000 UTCMy friends, here's the vignette ready for painting! The additional palm leaves still didn't arrive (probably tomorrow) but in the meantime I can focus on airbrushing all the foliage on the ground!
There's the usual static grass of different lengths, but in some places I added a bit of Fine Turf on top of it to imitate all those short weeds growing on the ground. It's not very visible, but I hope paints will change that!
Probably the most important addition are two natural dried plants from Peddinghaus Decals - one is Lepidium (Peppergrass) - those nice, tall, leafy weeds. The second is Adiantum Blatter which sort of resembles a fern, but not much. That's why I added it in very limited amounts. There were lots of fallen Pepergrass leaves in the package, so I sprinkled those on the ground. I should've done this step after the ground was painted, this way it'll be much more time consuming to bring them out with a paintbrush, but oh well, lesson learned!
More vegetation will be added in the form of paper plants, but only after all of this is painted :)

2024-03-25 22:05:12 +0000 UTCI mostly sit silently and admire your work, and admiration it well deserves, though this time I would like to point something out. I am assuming King Kong is part of at least a few other Shermans in convoy, if they are turning left or right onto that other road there will be a significant amount of soil and foliage pushed around and tore up by the track that is braked to make a turn. I think we also need some grass and foliage imbedded into the soil where there may be former traffic rather than simply bare soil. I know, I can be a pain π
