How it all started, little by little each month. Just a few last touches left, just add a few things when I find something that matches the scene. This can always be changed around too so easily! Finish off that wet look for the creek. I used a little UV protected gloss on the rocks around the border and all the wet scenes. There’s glow pebbles in there and the clear is acrylic just in case any animals walk across and it won’t be broken sea glass. Some of the tumbled is still sharp, so be aware of some brands. The acrylic crushed ice is this one I used, when driven through it gives it that more real water look as a clear beads break away from the tires. That light gloss spray I’m using is not enough to make the little pebble stick. I like them moving around a little so you just get a wet creek bed look. Lowe’s has most of this  material and you can get 50 to 90% discounts on open bags are broken Flagstone. They always have open bag deals. I spent probably $30 just only on the rock. Maybe another $25 on pebbles that glow in the dark,plants and the acrylic crushed ice. You could find good deals on Amazon haul and Michael’s.  you can also check Facebook marketplace and get free rock and bigger stones.  i’m disabled and had to save as much money as I could 3-D printing and buying premade courses for the house are awesome but cost hundreds of dollars I don’t have. So if you have a little bit of space, a small porch this is an option.
