The only “work in progress” picture I took was this, which shows the basing recipe.
I’ve found that giving the areas intended for flock/grass a coat of mid brown first seems to give a richer grass colour plus also provides a contrast from the lighter areas that get grass. The capping tiles were painted in Americana Terracotta, then washed with Agrax, followed by highlights of the base then the base plus VMC Dark Sand.
I’ve also used some small offcuts of mdf and plastic to represent brick scatter as I wanted to enhance the tumble-down look of the walls. The walls include some modelled-on bushes which I initially painted a range of greens but I couldn’t get it quite right, so covered them in some of the Luke APS scatter mix.
The walls are great value http://www.hovelsltd.co.uk/accessories25mm.htm see 2A, 3A and 4A.

That is one fine piece of horticultural goodness Matt. Another 👍 for Hovels here.
Thanks Phil! Yes, Hovels are well worth a look
That looks superb
Thanks Neil 🙂
Really nailing the terrain Matt.
Cheers George! As you know I’ve been quite busy 😎
Looks good, though I'm surprised you not using craft paint for all the basing stuff. They tend to be my go-too's as there's often lots of scrubbing & drybrushing. As a side note, Norton was screaming at me that your site was dangerous....maybe worth scanning to see if there's something up. Though oddly my work computer isn't sending alarms.... wierd
