Nov 2014 – I had a long break from the model. I fell ill in 2013 with a stomach problem and battled that for most of the year. There was a brief period before that where I did some revisions, including to the end of the third tunnel. I’m particularly proud of that one. The first attempt was awful. The second, I really took the time to look at photographs and note key features. I then very carefully sculpted just little details to get it closer to the prototype. Was extremely pleased when the color went on. The gap between tunnels 3 and 4 feature a river drop that by necessity had to cut into the level below it some. I basically removed shelf from this segment, and then crafted a riverbed from paper mache and spackling. When I have everything as I want it, I will fix that piece in position scenic it, and away we go. I have done my best to deal with the mountains behind, which in reality would go deeper back than where the wall is, by graduating from scenicked rock to painting. Right on the wall. 🙂
