From what I recall, cows almost always face the same way, away from the wind, so having them on grid might not be too bad. Also, you could add in an easter egg by having the airport wind vane face in the same direction as the cows.

If you want to position the cow freely, just attach one of those green single round studs onto its foot and have it pivoted on a -1 stud gradient of lower elevation. It will blend in as if it's a random grass clod.

can also add grass around it and would look more natural since cows move to large grass since its what they eat

Another option would be to use flat bricks where the studs would otherwise make it impossible to have the cow at an angle, and still only attach it on one foot. it will at least not be floating.

One of the nice things about this series being built in a studio which isn't planning to move is that you get to see lots of building techniques people building for conventions and transport simply can't do, like the chains on the bridge and smaller details held down by gravity alone. It's a great way to get a new perspective on designing for your own permanent workspace.

Looks great as always!! The new weed field looks way more realistic. A lil idea: instead of tripling the field in size, you could maybe double it in size and add another smaller patch close by, a little bit deeper in the landscape. What I love about airial views of rural places is seeing the different colored squares (crops) dotted around the place, so adding a smaller patch close by may give that effect was my thinking. PS tnx for letting us hear the vacuming of those spilled pieces, very satisfying!!

For the cows, put one of those 2000 green 1x1 on the cows back foot so its slightly raised above and you can put them at any angle you want. Once you found the angle you want put a couple of flower stems in front of the cow for them to graze on and hide the fact that all fours arent touching the base :)

Path 3:22 it would be a great idea to add a small mud track between the two gates and maybe random ones for the the sheep. Grew up on various farms and between the livestock and us walking across fields there were always slightly sunken mud tracks across the fields. Plus gateways always had an arc of mud where animals would assemble before feeding time. And animals especially sheep always follow the same paths (habit!) Just would make it look much more realistic. But as always amazing work, using your river/foliage designs in my latest set mocs for stop motion animations

If you haven't noticed it yourself by now, you missed a 1x1 round when vacuuming - it's upside down, about 7-8 leaves downstream from the corner of the building :) Can be seen to the right, at the 5:12 mark.
