I think the original was a bit coarse in texture and bright. The new version looks spot on! And of course you’d have some background music going. May I recommend;
Chosen as it’s something that won’t impact your moss….

The replacement looks more like grass, or hair growing on the original 
. I prefer the original moss structure wise. Colour wise I like the second iteration best…

If only growing hair was that easy Erwin, it’d solve my thatchless challenge, .
It probably does need a bit of a clean-up,

First moss is a bit bright in certain aspects, but it can show up as bright in a constantly damp environment but in this scale is is looking maybe a tad to course ?. The replacement is a nice colour, but looks a bit to hairy and long strands coming through ?

It’s looking great.
If I was hiking and came across the original moss I’d think I’d discovered a previously unknown piece of flora. If I came across the amended moss I would only be surprised by slipping on the slime & knocking myself out.

Hi all,
Slow progress at the moment, phase 2 of real building works on the house is under way, and it’s a tad chaotic here,

I’ve been playing around, making and adding some vines that tumble down the rockface, and also white water tumbling over the streambed, .
Comments, positive and negative, always welcome, .
Cheers, ,

I think the guiding principle for a faithful scale model reproduction of a scene is when you zoom in and it still looks like a 1:1 photo. That’s what you’ve got here!
Lovely mix of coloured moss and vegetation whilst the white water is excellent!

Hi all,
A tad more progress on the white water, .
Once I’ve built up this first layer I intend to coat it with clear gloss varnish.
