With "The reunion" under my belt, I turned my attention to the second project for this GB. With the sealant set, I punched some holes with a BBQ skewer, thus:

 

 

I then sprayed a piece of inkjet transparency with a green hobby lacquer, keeping the coat fairly light and uneven to give variation, and punched out plant shapes using a pair of steel punches from Green Stuff World.

 

 

And glued them into the holes I punched earlier, along with some lengths of matchstick to play the part of fence posts.

 

Then misted a light coat of Tamiya Buff over the whole thing,

 

A wooden coffee stirrer was split along it's length, roughened up, and glued across the posts, while the roadway at the back of the base got a covering of Citadel Armageddon Dust texture paste, and the gaps between the posts filled with yellowed static grass, before the woodwork was given a heavy wash of Citadel Agrax Earthshade.

 

Meanwhile, this is the second figure for the setup, primed:

 

And in place with my Tamiya Humber MkIV:
