  The last step (and most fun IMO) in building your terrain will be the planting phase.  The terrain will be populated by shrubbery made of actual lichen, which very closely resembles small scale bushes.   Planting the lichen is easy.  Simply apply daubs of heavy acrylic molding gel into the crevices and turf areas and press the lichen onto it while the gel is still wet.  You can paint more gel onto the base of your plants if the hold is not sufficient.  Just make sure that you are using the matte gel since the glossy gel is distracting and unnatural.
