Get a pocket sure form and a shop vac.  It will go pretty quickly.  Then smooth over any rough spots with some Sculptamold.

And let me know if you need any more foam!

I like it, too, but you need more variety in your trees.  :trollface:

What kind of trees are they? Other than being uniform, they look pretty good.

Always looking for another source of different type of trees.

Good, glad you guys approve. I'll move forward.

Also, CN, the trees are from: http://all-free-download.com/photoshop-brushes/photoshop-tree-brushes.html

Photoshopped trees :o

Thought they were some type of bulk. Guess I need to look better. Still might be able to print some up for pasting to the backdrop.

Thanks for the reply.

Those trees have too much foliage for an Ed layout.

Lol. True.

Also, shits' crick has been cut in. Well, the bridge for it anyway.



I'm not sure I'm going arch on this, but it's a good placeholder.

There are single arches like that all along a Codorous Creek.  If you want to set the feel of the NCR below York that almost has to be an arch!

So you just proved there are single arch bridges along the Codorous ?  Was that your point ?  :trollface:

But in your version of history, Agnes washed out the C&PD but left the NCR alone.

Well, duh... model the surviving arch, and scab a new steel girder plate to the damaged end.  What a conversation piece!!
