The layout work has continued with finishing the landscaping in the small yard area.  Here are a few pictures taken in different phases of this work. Click any of the pictures to view them in a bigger size.

The first step was to lay down some plaster where needed.  This is how it looked like.	The next step was painting with undercoat colors.  The road has been painted with Woodland Scenics concrete road color. The tracks were covered with some masking tape.
After that, different kinds of turf, sand and track ballast were applied, and buildings were put back into their places.  And second layer of the concrete color was applied on the road.	The landscape got its final form after many trees and bushes had been planted, fences installed, etc.  This is how it looks like now.
And the same from the opposite side.	And then a set of pictures how the rock face on the bridge ramp was formed.  First the plaster layer was covered with a special brown mass giving it more rock like appearance.
Then the brown mass was painted with two shades of grey, giving the rock the color I wanted.  Black wash was applied on the paint, and some white color was dry-brushed on the highest points.  Finally everything was sprayed with some matte medium.  After that some coarse turf and foliage was applied here and there, to give it the final touch.	And this is how it looks now after some pine and fir trees were planted in front, and fences were put in place.  These trees from Noch are not the most realistic ones, but they will do for now.
And then couple of other details.  The fence which you can see around the power plant and along the track is self made from wire-mesh and matches, painted with the desired color of course.  Inspiration to do it this way I got from Per's homepage, tips & tricks section.  Very nice.	A row of pine trees was planted behind the loco shed.  They are long enough so they come through nicely over the roof.  Some of the trees at the front of the picture are still standing loose.  I won't fix them before I get the Viessmann signals which I have ordered, and know exactly where they will be installed.  One of the signals will come here to guard the track which comes behind the loco shed and joins the other tracks from the yard.
There are also some dummy light posts from Faller at the yard.  I may put in some real lights some day, but not yet.  And by the way, it is the camera which is not standing straight, not the lamp posts...
