N scale layout "Hills have Castles"

Hills Have Castles !

 There is  a view of the left hill . I made a base for the castel  and then fit tested it many times . After that , I was bale to  start building the road with blue foam chips.
 I then  used the faller putty to cover all the area . When dried (it has a curing time of  10-15 minutes)  I was able to spray the  first color layer.
 Another view  a little more far.
A more overall view ! The 1/33 of the layout is trully colorful  and the rest is .. grayscale...  .
I  , here ,  have no clue  what to build in the front left corner  and on the  far right corner. Maybe  two farmhouses  could be nice .

 Some flocking here  but the  result is trully not satisfying
 More flocking  and  I tried to make  a simple fence .
 Another view of the fence
 Here I put some sand arround that divides the whole area in segments  and  make the layout more live!  If there is a path around  then there might be  some people around too!

The main switch house  is permanently glued  in place . First  I  washed the building with  paint oils. Before permanently positioning it  , I put an aluminum tube  inside . I can  aferwards use it  in order to pass through a houselight .

 The next step was  to  wash the  rocks  with  oil paints . Various mixes of grey , brown , black   for the darked areas  and  light grey and white for the highlights   provide  a nice finish .
    Here I put some  grass on the hill . The  rocks  now seem better  and the overall area is now more colorful !

 Another view of the same step .
Here is a more close view of  the front area.
