Section 2: Miniature Landscapes
(A) Choose a complete Rock-and-Bonsai ‘Miniature Mountainside’ Landscape, (B) Select the cheaper version, using the patented Toprock “Hard-Coat” (TM) surfacing. (B) Select the Hard-Coat version of the Miniature Hillside The model below demonstrates the use of Toprock’s "Hard-Coat" (TM) to make a self-supporting hillside shaped out of your soil, and located anywhere in your garden (or as a stand-alone unit), This model uses bonsais, but alternatively you can use small shrubs. ![]() This
model also includes real stones to boost the "mountainous" effect.
Stones add further interest
and realism.
Also shown is a quickly-painted backdrop for perspective, not vitally necessary. Alternatives include commercially bought screens, a simple one colour paint job, or most often no backing at all. All the extras present in the Rock-and-Bonsai 'Miniature Mountainside' Landscape are available, namely: mountain streams and lakes, misting, lighting, shading, drippers for the plants, etc. But the price-tag for us to make the Miniature Mountain Landscape (around $6,000) is a thousand or two more than you would pay for this "Hard-Coat Hillside"kind..! |
