Anyone doing large scale landscaping that mixes Lego and non-Lego as
they do at Legoland? e.g. non-Lego mountain, but with Lego bridges on
it.

LEGO catalogues of old feature illustrations of exactly this - very naive
style rolling hills in only slightly subdued colours. That means I've been

When building microfig styled Lego towns, I tend to integrate both the lego
and non lego items so they kind of mix.

Usually, though, I get a hold of those model trees and grass landscaping
stuff (it's kind of hard to describe) at the hobby shop.
This works pretty well if you're trying to construct an awesome background
for your models, or a diorama or a forest, hills, etc.

Anyway, that's what I do for my backgrounds. Anyone do anything different,
(besides taking a lot of BURPS and green bricks for a background)

Just my two brickz...
