No Paul, like Chris I'd love to read it . The mere mention of ACME has me smiling
Loving the build around the mine, as Rick says about trees, you can hide a lot If space constraints are the problem of accuracy. Carry on its great .

More progress.

[Tim Marlow]

More good stuff! Looking good Paul.

Trying to make this mountainscape acceptable is kicking my butt. Latest attempts at progress.

C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

[Tim Marlow]

Your problem seems to be making the steep slopes look realistic Paul. To me, you are modelling a quarried void. The sides should therefore be vertically steep with a stratified shelf effect. In the space you have it is probably your only option.
A bit like this, perhaps?

Cheers

Thanks for that Tim. Some progress today.

Overall strengthening up of mountain supports.

This will be tough. Kinda like the funky angles on the bridge windows of the roll-on/off ship.

Getting closer.....Rick H.

HI PaulE ITS lookin great this mountain as all the foam is fitting good but this is just my opinion its looking hard work cant you just cover the rail line up for the moment an remove when mountain built an use PLATSER OF PARIS over wire netting i think its called as thats what i used on my mountain on my r/r tunnel an it was easy to just lay it out an then just brush on a little water an voilay it streches to the shape you want an goes hard an weighs very little but as i said this is just my opinion but what you are doin still looks great all the same an i hope you dont take offence at my post

Nice progress Paul. Keep tinkering, you’ll get there!

[minitnkr]

Thanks guys.
Chris, I've used that method before & found it difficult to plant trees so went this way as I've used it before successfully though much more level ground. PaulE

[minitnkr]

Progress on west side, but I'm not happy w/east side attempt. Thinking. Your thoughts? PaulE
