Great looking terrain feature here. Would never of thought of using coloured feathers!

Back from my summer hols, rushing to get my act together for Partizan. Here is a reed bank with bull-rushes and some plastic plants in place:-

...and below I've started to add the "reeds", which are a mix of dyed feathers and bits of a cut-up feather boa. Verdant, neh?

Each feather needs to be cut, trimmed and stuck into place. This is a messy and tricky job, which would have been easier with smaller feathers... but I reckon the end result will make it worthwhile.

Very creative work. Those look great!

Nice work Simon, using feathers for reeds is a touch of genius, gives a real impression of density.
Best Regards HGA.

These are a triumph Simon, the feathers are an inspired touch.

Thanks! The nicest thing is that the feathers flutter in any breeze.
I'll post again when finished.
