Starting with the hardscape cleaned up from the previous setup:

Then we have the plants from the previous scape that I am taking into this scape:

And the substrate all tidied up:

First off I attached the Philippine Fern to it's 'mount' with.......

And then I attached the needles and Anubias to the main hardscape pieces. Next step was to put the wood into the tank:

Finally for this post, I added the cobbles/pebbles around the base of the wood ready to fill up:

Can't show you pictures of the finished planted setup yet because I cannot see into the tank. lol. I have a fluval3+ in there with carbon inside and filter wool to clear it up ASAP. This is on top of a 50% change 10 hours after initial setup.
