How to: Make a small field

Greetings everyone!

It's been what? Ages since my last post from what I can see? Yeap....you are probably right. As you may have noticed, I wasn't very ''present'' in our blogosphere, for various reasons, which I am not going to use them, so to achieve some sort of redemption from you.

We have a saying here in Greece: Excuses are like cheap shoes; in the end you will find one that suits you best - but, as we all know, cheap shoes don't last long. :)

So nuff with me talking - no more talking, only pics of what I've finished last night. I know that I am inexcusable. :) 

I trust that the pics below are self explanatory - they are showing the basic steps in making a small field that can be used in various periods. But, if you have any queries, comments are open for you either for swearing at me or asking me things about this little gem. The choice is yours. :)

So....





















I hope you like it.
Have a great Thursday night everyone!
T.

    It is nice to see you back my friend, you were missed. I think you have found the perfect way to make nice even fields. That's a great idea and wonderful use of materials on hand.

    Excellent field T. I did this for a friend of mine with a railroad project awhile back and have just never got around to doing it for myself.

    Very cool Thanos! Thanks for posting, and coming back to 'blogger life'!

    While you are posting up the grass you use for GReg, mind posting up how you created the walls?
