The corn comes in rows of ten. There are 40 rows in a box and I used 4 boxes. That's 1600 corn stalks that each need to be twisted three times by hand since they come flat out of the box. That's 4800 twists with the tweezers! Then you have to dip each of the 160 rows in yellow fuzz for the tassels and 'plant' on the layout. After that I used scenic express dirt sifted over the top to cover the bases. It was quite the process, but if I'm modeling Southern Minnesota without corn and soybeans then I'm not doing a very good job. Thanks for looking.

After cutting and applying 7,500 (approx.) individual simulated wood shingles to my GC Laser Boathouse kit, I know how much time and effort goes into making things look good. I could see that effort in your cornfield. Thumbsup Thumbsup
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
