How clear plasic can enhance your terrain

In searching the best way to make my terrain elements, ie trees, roads, bush, logs, grass, etc, looking the most realistic possible I think I may have found a very cheap and easy way, which satisfies me a great deal.

Thinking of minimizing the size of the support of the element, like a tree I just used a piece of those clear plastic sheet  that you find very easily in a stationery shop. It is also widely used as coversheet of powerpoint presentations, for those who handle this kind of ugly stuff, like myself.

You basically superglue that to the element and you may also kind of hide it by adding little details like stones or grass.

That can be applied also to almost anything which needs a base, like a fence or a little dry stone wall...

Then when it is the turn of roads I think the result is notable as you don't have that undesired effect of higher edges along the road but the latter fits and melds very well with the land around.
