k%201(1).jpg Maryland Midland 305 crosses Little Pipe Creek.

Right after MMID leaves the Union Bridge yard it crosses the Little Pipe Creek before it heads on to Emory Grove.  I've finally got my version mostly completed.  I've got more bushes and trees to plant and then I'll add another coat of Mod Podge to the river.  There is a park behind the yard and from there with a little effort one can reach this bridge.  I've done the walk and it is remarkable for how much foliage and growth is there.  It is hard to keep from modeling it too neat and uniform.  It looks a bit too tidy to me in the photo.  Time for more foliage!

Well done.

The scene looks really good!  

You have incorporated a mix of colors in your weeds and foliage which is very realistic.  “Nature’s color pallet goes beyond one shade of green”

The weathering affect on your bridge abutments and retaining walls is a good representation of the normal aging and exposure found on newer/modern concrete structures.  

The water affect is well done including the color.  ( What color/combinations did you use for the water?)

Well done!
