I was wondering what looked so wrong when I looked up at my tank display....other then the fact there is a snow man on my tiger 1.............lol and winter trees...ect............I noticed that there was no grass so I experimented with a few ideas..and this is just one small step. I plan on making more with more colors of green to simulate field grass ...I will tell you how you can make it your self in time.

I know it's much but it something that has been bothering me....there is just no 1/18th grass out there....So I decided to make some.
I am also working on a 1/18th bridge single arch at least 3 feet long...I am going to use real rocks for the main part of the bridge and custom hand made 1/18th bricks...I have the bridge frame made ....all I have to do is ad the stones and the the road way bricks.

More pics of Fritz und Hans adventures in Normandy.
I added some more darker green grass/weeds and added some rocks.
