Still trying to tackle what I call "The overall visual effect" of the model railway. Nothing to do with verisimilitude but very much to do with making the layout pleasing to behold.
My next target/culprit for attention is the roof of one of the ceramic buildings which at present has a pitched lego roof with a flat dark green inlay.
The roof presents too much of a dark green mass; it needs breaking up, visually speaking.
Since I have used a chequered pattern of mosaic tiles elsewhere on the layout, notably the platforms but also the roof of another ceramic building, I thought I'd apply the same solution to this roof inlay.
And here's the result:
A definite improvement, I think.
