7. Scenery... Such As It Is
I'd actually started some of the scenery during the previous construction session. As it is, for this layout there's a bare minimum of scenery, since the bulk of the layout is covered in (decrepit) structures. I did make sure there was at least some room for greenery to provide a respite from the graffiti-drenched post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Given my budget of zero, I used what I had on hand, and in this case it was pre-colored, pre-mixed sanded grout, which was an adequate substitute for more preferred materials such as Sculptamold. It does take some getting used to working with the stuff, and it's a bit tough planting trees in it, but I wouldn't have many trees anyway. Plus I had some leftover Cripplebush Creek rubber rocks to line the cut.
