Joined: 20/01/2015(UTC) Posts: 1,195 Location: Kerikeri		Its been all yellow/brown around here for quite a while [ not shown in your chart ], but the rain has come and its turning green [ no. 1 -1 on your chart ie top left ] but with the brown edges and patches in places.. Different grasses have different colours, and the weeds, well anyones guess. Looks too artificial if you use just one colour or if it looks too even with the different flecks. Just chuck it around and see what happens. Thats what mother nature does. This reminds me of a picture of a Japanese garden where the young gardener had just raked the sand into a perfect look. He told the old gardener how perfect it looked and the old guy said no. He then rolled a 70 mm stone across it and said thats perfect. Dereck

John Basically anything for the lawn is available. Along with Faller I have produced an automatic mower which zooms around on its own. Requires a Faller motor which is extra. All layouts deserve this/. Just need your bank details before faxing the unit too you.
