I really like by shrubbery too!Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-69031581196210574392018-05-20T07:34:14.658-07:002018-05-20T07:34:14.658-07:00Hi Joe just back from hols so a bit behind but fir...Hi Joe just back from hols so a bit behind but first let me say this post was very interesting while we all love to hear the daring tales from Jimland its also great to see how other folk are going about doing things :)<br /><br />Unlike John ;)I think cutting the Lidl mat was the right thing to do as I'm not a fan of water or pits or anything that should be lower then the ground sitting above it & for anyone who can't get a Lidl mat you can get sheets of flocked paper in model railway shops in different sizes that are cheap enough & could be used to do the same thing, I'll finish up by saying the shrubby worked out very well :) Frank O Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051293398042518708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-32787679412218216622018-05-17T12:20:59.011-07:002018-05-17T12:20:59.011-07:00Thanks Vagabond, I bought my washers from a wholes...Thanks Vagabond, I bought my washers from a wholesaler, I asked how much for 200 - £2 was the answer, he came back with a bag of two handfuls, with nartly 300 in. (second or third time I've used him! I notice the saesized washers at B&Qs at £3+ for a dozen iirc. Screwfix may have better deals, - just saying.<br />I was very apprechensive about cutting the mat, but I do have a 'spare' and I would really need at least three to carpet a useful size table (6' x 8')/ The streams/rivers will indeed be able to 'flow' the length of the stream instead of across it, as I hinted at (to Clint).

For what appears to be a small effort you have a huge reward in terms of useful scenery.<br />Cutting the Lidl mat in half is a bold move as they are so scarce but I'm sure will look good. Does this mean the blue River will run along the stream instead of across it ;-)Vagabondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031648950206231742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-56759497313359419582018-05-17T04:08:32.383-07:002018-05-17T04:08:32.383-07:00Thanks Brummie, I'd been looking out for these...Thanks Brummie, I'd been looking out for these for several years and jumped at the chance to get them when I could.
