    Hi everyone. True, I was thinking of those things when I built it. Is it going to be a spring or a pond filling from another river? I suppose I just decided to make it the way I did after considering what I'd have to do to accomodate what I wanted to put in. I wanted to put trees in and the rocks and I realised I would probably need to make the pond smaller if I was going to put a feeder stream in....if you know what I mean. I have also been thinking about how do I progress this and feel that I now need to start adding more action and civilisation to the model like people and houses and fences. To be honest, I haven't built it to any specific scale, just the size i was imagining. I'm not brilliant at interpreting 'scales', though I would love to gain a better understanding of how to do it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Speak soon folks!

        I can't tell how big your waterfall is from the pictures, but as far as figures are concerned, anywhere between 1/56 (28mm) to 1/32 (54mm?) would look OK I think. If you use the smaller figures, then you give the impression it's a big waterfall and vice versa.

        If you have a selection of figures, try them and see. If they look right then they are right!

        I would also suggest keeping the number of figures small. A large number would indicate a well-used path with the grass worn away - which you haven't done. A small group could be explorers, or lost, or trying to escape by using unknown routes, and therefore the grass would still be there.
