    Atlantic's FAR WEST series was pretty lively and detailed. Can you still get them?

    This is a set I had often in my hands to buy.
    Didn't do it, but still on the wish list.
    You made a good scene out of it, like it a lot.
    Now I have to buy them...

    Great dio overall with lot of details. You should avoid using too much artificial trees from the bag and build your own instead or combine them with fine turf for a more realistic result.

      Thanks Kostas.
      There are no Artificial (model shop) trees / Bushes on the dio. The only Thing artificial (plant wise) is the grass (some with flowers) clumps..everything else came from the local graveyard..moss.
