Last night while running trains, I re-sceniced my lake scene.  Wanting to hide the plywood/homosote straight edges, I used real stone to give an effect such as you might see around the edge of quarry type lake or pond. I also added in some lichen between some of the stones.  Not sure if I like this outcome so I will sit with it for a few days before making any changes.   I'm sensing that I'll change what I've done with it, however, as I said I'll sit with it for a few days before making a decision.  Here are some before and after shots.  If anyone has any ideas/suggestions, feel free to chime in!  Thanks!  IMG_9840IMG_9841IMG_9844IMG_9845IMG_9843

Looking much, much better. Try a few more - smaller - rocks jutting out in one spot so they look LESS like a border. It might be too late, but if you could add a light tan area near part of the shoreline and darken the blue to blue green in the middle then add another coating of "water". That would give it more depth. Looks so much better now.
