Started with a mix of fine turf from some earlier work. Painted some half-and-half white glue in an area around the station and across the track leaving room for car parking, bus, and REA Express truck. . . maybe. Found the fan I was using for cooling was blowing the turf all over the place so turned the fan off and found some turf that may not have been glued down too well.
That led to using an ear syringe bulb to add some half-and-half, but got way too much. So, pulled out the 2mm static grass and the homemade static applicator. Figured this could be a planting area and the rest could be the grassy lawn.
Used some commercial flower hedge and a few commercial flower bunches in the area. Then went to another of the spindly trees. Wrapped the tree with florist tape a la Farm Pond about VI. Then painted some "Fawn" acrylic to soften the brown tape and camouflage the gray wires. Sprayed the tree with strong hold hair spray and dusted on some coarse turf. Sprayed again and dusted on some earth tone blended turf. Not sure that helped a lot, but it felt better.
Poked a hole with a scratch awl and glued the tree in place with white glue, full strength.
