Bog vegetation

Ok, I went down after all the ghouls and goblins went home tonight and played around with the first little section.

I applied the glue base then placed the dark green tufts around the edges.
Hard to see but I did add some lighter colored tufts towards the middle and rear.
The large white flowered shrub is something I got from Scenic Express made by Martin Welberg. Before adding it I misted it with hairspray and sprinkled on some Woodland Scenics white flowers.

Next I mixed some 4mm dark green and 6mm autumn grass and applied very heavy around the entire area and sucked up the excess.  I then sprinkled on a variety of fine green ground foam and misted it all with more hairspray.

Before it dried, I lightly applied some Woodland Scenics yellow and purple flowers.  Then added some small bits of clump foliage and the Woodland Scenics Tall Grass and misted more hairspray to lock stuff in place.


I'm not sure how deep I'll pour the water, but it should be at least halfway up the edges.  This is just the undergrowth, I plan to add more small shrubs, trees and stumps along with some 12mm tufts to the bog bottom around the edges.
