landscaping comes to my layout


   this past week, while waiting for stuff i won on ebay, i decided to put some ground cover on one section of my layout. Arizona's landscaping consist mainly of palm tree, cactus & some trees. so i started with the palm trees. i received these palm trees from a company called (wehonest  a Chinese company). the price was right @ less than $12.00 including shipping  for 50 trees. when i received the trees they looked very toy like, so i made some mods on the trunk & foliage using floquil rail brown for the trunks & rustolium "moss green" for the foliage. here are the pics...

i took a piece of masonite, drill a few holes so i could paint the tops & not worry about the trunks
 
 
ground cover added
 
this is the industry that got it's landacapeing
