To create the bases for my sets I cut out two boards. The board for my stately home set is 2ft by 4ft but was cut in to an 'L' shape so that the sweet shop set could be placed behind it on a separate podium higher up.
(Image above) First I drew out ground plan and painted the board with three layers of paint to get natural tones of grass, I also used a sponge to create a stippled effect to get more of a grass texture. I then used a product similar to flocking called Fine turf over the paint to create the grass areas. To create the gravel path up to the door of the stately home I used a product made from ground up nut shells.
(Image above) This is the trellis I made for the side of the stately home. I made it from a very soft thin piece of wood which I cut up into strips then glued into place. To make the flowers I used green florists wire and then got small strips of purple/pink and green tissue paper layered it on top of each other and twisted the wire which created the flower. I then wrapped the strips of flowers round the trellis.
