I know this is a bit off the wall but if you or one of your kids has the game The "Elder Scrolls, Skyrim" you should check out the scenery. The mountains and streams are stunning and the waterfalls are exquisite. It might be worth taking a few screen shots to incorporate into a background.

Evergreen "Metal Roofing" consists of a sheet of styrene with grooves across it, and a bunch of thin styrene strips that go in the grooves to simulate standing-seam roofing. How the %^&*@#$ do you affix the strips in the grooves so they stay? I did a bunch today by caaarrrrefuuuullllyyyy painting styrene cement down one edge of a strip, then caaaaarrrrefuuullllyyy pressing it into the groove, trying not to let it flop around and spread cement onto the surface of the sheet. While wearing an optivisor and holding the strip with tweezers.

I'm finally been able to squeeze in a little modeling recently. My brick hardware store building turned out so well that I decided to do another brick building alongside it. I won't go into as much detail on this build, since it is similar to the previous one. You can see the step-by-step on my first brick building here:   http://www.raydunakin.com/Site/IRR_Mineral_Ridge_2.html
