Detail Photos
I neglected to add a few close-ups of some of the other details that are less obvious. Some of these areas will be difficult to get a decent photo once the lid is installed.
The cheese and sausage are obvious lunch booty the Ranger has acquired from the local area. However, he has been interrupted and has not had a chance to partake of his loot, not yet, and he's not willing to share. But he will enjoy his lunch in short order, after he clears this quiet little neighborhood of those pesky uninvited guests.
It is a well-known fact that some women love chocolate with their wine, so why not add the invoice, right?
The sign on the fence is an indication that this guy, the owner, was a local wine directory for visitors to this area, that is, if I remember my French correctly. Those of you who are fluent in French will be able to read it and correct me if I'm wrong. The photo isn't the greatest, my bad.
Moss work coming up mue pronto. Cheers, Ski.

My theory is if you like a full bodied red wine, you will probably like extra dark chocolate... and it is only logical that the two pair very well.
Round that out with well aged cheese and a baguette, balsamic and salt.
All the food groups covered, say no more!

Hanging Moss Effect
Here we have the hanging moss effect completed. I think this will work fine considering it won't be a main focal point. When working and shaping these strands you'll find they stick to everything, every tool, every surface. Trying to keep them separate without breaking what you've already done takes a little careful working and practice. The camera was having a hard time focusing, so some of these pics a slightly blurry.
I used cotton wading, or what could be considered a bandage plug, of 100% cotton carefully separated and pulled apart. Following Laszlo Adoba's instructions on painting and adding the small amount of flock, this was only a matter of learning how to handle it.
In an effort to not over-do the effect, or leave it too spares, figuring out what looks real and what doesn't, that was the big question. What is enough, or not enough? Personal preference takes precedence, so have fun with it. I am pretty happy with the underside photos as it is now, so I'm calling this portion done.
I can see this effect coming in handy for quite a few projects with derelict structures, mid-evil scenarios, old abandon Louisiana plantation houses, etc. Your imagination is the limit, so this effect is worth investigating on your own.
Figure and rig prep is next on the list, so onward to finish this up. Thanks for watchin.
Cheers, Ski.
