Scenery material experimentation

Been working on scenery this week and had been for some time accumulating Pot Toppers after reading about their use in the Railroad Line Forum.

Pot Toppers at Railroad Line Forums

I had used the green grassy side in a couple of locations but had not used the brown/purple tinged reverse side. A couple of nights ago I decided to experiment with the reverse side of a pot topper.

The forest floor is rarely a carpet of green grass but rather an accumulation of dead vegetation, leaves, etc. I thought the reverse side with a bit of doctoring could represent this forest floor nicely. Here is my first attempt at doing so.
