Farm Pond VIII -- Finished?

Totally gave up on grandkid help -- there's still more to do on the layout for them -- and maybe finished up the farm pond.

Sprayed some strong hold hair spray on polyfiber, small bushes, and such and dusted with earth tone ground foam to try to get rid of some of the springtime green -- it's September, after all.

While that was drying, added more wire to the fence posts.  Used the 6X fly fishing tippet but did the whole perimeter at one time. . . what was left.  Actually used a cinch knot on the far fence post and ran the line all the way to the third corner. 

Kept some tension on the line with the tippet spool and glued at each post with white glue. 

Doing one of three lines at a time left opportunity to try to make a gate.  Must have used 30 thou plastic rod because it converted to about 2.5 inches, scale.  Used a bit larger plastic rod for one side -- the hinge side.  Glued with CA, but it wasn't easy.  Painted with Testor's rust color paint.

Added some field grass combined with sisal for broomstraw, stuck down some of the polyfiber and bushes here and there.  Had spread a little parsley flakes on one polyfiber to add a little more dimension.  Glued the gate on.  Added the boys fishing back, placed a horse, stuck the farmer next to a truck just emptied of cotton to be ginned.  A few other pieces including a rather large tree.

That might be enough.  Once the white glue dries, we can check it out to see if anything more needs to be done.  After a little vacuuming, it looks OK!
