Top drawer modelling... I'd love to see some details of how you did the water in the stream.
Looking forward to the next instalment!

Not sure if this will be of help.
Noticed in the window of a take away Japanese sushi .
They have a decorative greenery which they use when composing the serve.
It is a green plastic that I assume is to resemble a green leafy decoration.
I think it may be of use for your water plants, its already cut and snipped.
May be worth a look.
If it is suitable, they may sell you some or point you in the right direction.
Or you could just buy lots of sushi.

PS This is the stuff I am talking about.

Hi Don,
Last time I bought sushi, I can't say I notice that gear. Certainly looks interesting, and the price is pretty fair as well. I will have to have a closer look next time I go and get a salmonela, I mean California roll!  Thanks for the spot...could have told me that before I cut all them leaves !!!!
Been away for a week of camping in the Otway Ranges (where the inspiration for this diorama came from), so have come back with a few more fresh ideas an observations. Just need to find some time to attack this thing again.
Cheers,
Dan Pickard

Ok, just got home from the weekend exhibiting at my local model railway show, as part of the "Art of the Diorama" display. Took along the bush box to work on, as well as a display of how I make the gums, plus a heap of trees and ferns to work on over the weekend. Spent the bulk of the first day finishing a "nursery board" of smaller gums, and painting about a hundred of the plastic ferns I had on hand. At the end of day one, I spent a while placing in the scenery along the base of the gorge on the left side, where the small bush hut was to be placed. Gave it all a good drink of glue for the night, with the hope it would have dried in place by the end of day two, so the box would be ready to transport home again (it has to lay down in the car, so the glue needed to be cured!).
So a few pics of the progress and display set up...
Decided to add a small "bush mill" to the front of the hut. Will have some further detailing of course.
Cheers,
Dan Pickard

Very nifty Dan, neat idea with the balsa wings to support the tree structure. Looking forward to seeing the real tree at Southern Forests.

Really neat way to build the stump area. The method should work well with other types of trees with a large stump section.
