Lush Vineyard
A single mature grape in N scale is 0.003125”! Fortunately, I’m
modeling Sonoma in the spring, and before the bunches of
grapes would bow down the boughs. That still left the “simple”
challenge of creating rows of vines and mature leaves across a
good swath of scenery. When in doubt, follow the tried-and-
true footsteps of prototypical planting.
Using scrap stained stripwood, I used CA to stick stakes into
the ground at 24’ intervals, leaving each stake 5’-6’ high. Rows
are 8’-9’ apart to accommodate tractors and other machinery.

23: Just like a real vineyard, I had to plant stakes
and wire them before planting the vines. Stakes are
spaced 24’ apart, vines about 8’ apart and rows are
8’ to 9’ apart to accommodate tractors and other
equipment.
