| Geezer, the hatch cover is quite light... just a frame of half inch ply and a wooden cross. Thin cardboard strip and plaster bandage hard shell on top. I can balance it carefully in the landscape when the bridge is removed, so in a pinch I can manage it all on my own. But I'll get Anne to help when it goes in again. |

I decided to do something with the access hatch infill in the corner by Teal River... So I made up about twenty small and some medium sized trees, then planted a group along the backdrop, and the rest on the infill. There were already a group of skinny trees at the back of the infill. Largest trees in front to suggest perspective. Now I'll have to do the river water, and perhaps some reeds too.
Troels,
I like the small waterfall near the arch bridge. We have one similar to that on a bayou just south of our town. That is neat. Good detail.
Your work is so realistic. I love it.

Sculpted some water in the river inlet. Used heavy gel and gloss medium mix in the back, and the super heavy gel in the front. When a river (or current) runs against an incoming tide you get short, choppy seas, even in relatively calm weather.
With the very humid weather we have here just now it will take days for this to dry[:-banghead]

The water of Teal's River inlet is now (almost ;-) dry, and got a little whitecaps and some blue-white accents... I painted a mingle of mallards, and glued them in a calm little bay up the river. The hill/forest insert for the access hatch is in place, and the edges camouflaged. The new trees finally makes the road over the bridge seem to dissapear into the woods...

A mingle of Mallards! A new word!
I know about the gaggle of geese but I really like the new use for this English word "mingel of Mallards" and will propose it to Mr. Webster for his dictionary. 
Very nice water scene Troels. And the blending of the road into the backdrop too.  |

Technically, a group of mallard ducks is called one of a:
"sord", "lute", "brace", "puddling" or "flush".

I like the poetic "mingle of Mallards" much better.
Thanks Troels.
