Finalizing the Foreground Scene

The scenery for the foreground scene was divided. First, there was the inclined road leading up to the scene. The second part was the flat area justifying the road.

Why would you have a road, even an overgrown road, unless it was going somewhere?

And who would want scrub land next to a railroad spur? Certainly not the Joneses. And what would they do with the land? The answer is pretty clear (at least my mind) - men intent on escaping their wives. So the resulting scene is supposed to be the start of a small clubhouse for some local men's club (inspired by my Uncle's stories about he and my Dad blowing up stuff in a remote field). But it is hard to tell really, since the only thing modelling as a structure (aside from an outhouse) is concrete foundation. The story is that the men have torn down an old shack and are starting to build a new clubhouse, which includes a basement to store all the crap they can't store at home.

Ready.

in the sprit of trying something new, I added a stone fence to create a compound. The fence is a plastic (yellow) mold that comes in pieces at various lengths with a few corners. I painted it grey but was never really able to find the right colour. Nevertheless...

Because the compound is flat, I added visual interest with the foundation. I dug into the pink foam and then used painted styrene to simulate a freshly poured foundation.

And then it was time to add the centrepiece. First the outhouse. 

The outhouse is from XXXX and comes as a casting so it just needs to be painted. I went with aging wood and an tar paper roof gathering moss.

And then the hero tree to shade the outhouse...

And junk wood (from the demolished shack) and new 2x4s for the new clubhouse...

And added some scrub around the outhouse/tree scene...

And vegetated the embankment...

The scene is about 95% complete. I'd love to add a cement mixer to emphasize the freshly poured foundation if I can find a detail part.
