Personally I'd add a few tufts to add a bit more variety, but the table looks very nice already.<br /><br />And using child labor is always a great idea. Get them into the hobby while they are still young and can easily be fooled into tasks like these :)Samulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768684644521312467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-919081206717412932014-08-05T14:14:41.444-07:002014-08-05T14:14:41.444-07:00Looks good so far old son.

These are textured with aquarium sand, painted and flocked with an autumn blend of static grass.
