Legend: Somewhere in the Sonoran desert between Phoenix and Tucson lies the 'Gnome Valley Proving Grounds' where ongoing testing is done of the LR 110 vehicle checking its steering, rack/pinion and shock systems. The snaky gravel road provides well for the conditions this truck must endure.
Many thanks to:

•   Dune for the road engineering, sphere/boulder setup and numerous aspects of the scene build ... really appreciate this Ulco; I've learned much via your help.

•   jmeyer for the LR 110 model ...thanks Jochen; the POV does not do the truck justice; and, I'll be doing another scene with it in more of a close up.

•   XOIO/Hannes for the People model ...in this scene is 'Steve'. These are perfect models for many different outdoor scenes which contain great details.

•   Walli for the Dry shrub #8 which I have adjusted in order to simulate the 'Brittle bush' which is quite prolific here in the Southwest.
This was my first real successful use the 'Grass clump' which is part of the Terragen program. With proper adjustments, it simulated the desert mountain grass very well.

Enjoy

Very very nice and happy to see one more of your works.

I like everything here. I could just have a critic about the cactus population. It seems too regular.

Good job Bob

Thank you all for your visit and suggestions. The cactus variation could be better. I have three versions; but, only used two. The models could be improved. Any modelers our there: I would be willing to work with you taking the photographs you need to create some new models.
