@Sprocket, that wall construction method is known as board and batten over here, not sure about the UK. Funny, it was very common on late 19th and early 20th c. RR structures here.

so here I go with the base, the hardboard is cut to a long narrow strip and it's covered in real mud mixed with watery PVA glue and spread over the base, next came grass scenic accessories of various types, pressed into the wet mud before it has time to harden, (hours)

green reed like grass in it's raw state is hard to work as it comes as a birds nest.

the lengths need cutting right down and twisting into a clump

or bent as individual strands into a two reed plant.

individual plants look good growing up the track to the wheels.

general view of it so far.

a quick front view as close the the photograph at Graffenhoer in 87.

Here it is with the standard Coke can scale. The next time I show this it should be in it's glass case.

Looks superb, great job with the rust, and with the base, too.

Fantastic all the way around. Great job, and different from the usual.
