Gabhal Luimnigh Posted December 22, 2023 Author Posted December 22, 2023 Just now, derek said: You have been busy Denis. That sloping/sweeping road down from the bridge is class Thanks Derek, it took a bit of working out but I'm happy with the outcome, I will give the sides a look of shuttered concrete, I'm unsure of the road edge, stone wall, block wall, steel barrier, post and rail fence, post and wire????? The bridge is the stand out feature for me 1 Quote

Gabhal Luimnigh Posted December 26, 2023 Author Posted December 26, 2023 Final (?) embankments painted, ready for undergrowth etc. Going to put a few sheds along where the arrow is. Now my mind is not made up for here and maybe I need a few hints, this will be an industrial/warehouse/freight area, served by the hill road, however I am unsure what to do with the arrowed areas, I don't think I want any more embankments so do I put forestry there?? 6 1 Quote
Galteemore Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 Coming on really well - great work! 1 Quote
