    I think they look very realistic. I think it would be tough to make scenery look right in Z scale but you've seemed to nail it. Good job!

    PS. I noticed that you use the blue masking type tape. I use the same stuff. See, both of us can't possibly be wrong :eek:)

    Is that the tin foil method for rocks? Looks pretty good to me.

    I love the weeds in the pond. Those extra little things really make a scene "pop".
