Thanks Guys. Feels good to be in motion again, if only for the moment. Took me a second to scan the depth of my brain for the 80's movie reference but I narrowed it down and was happy to confirm I still have some mental ability. ;D

Thanks Karl...It's from NE Brownstone, cast plaster pieces that can be reconfigured. Dave Emery did a great thread on his build.

You are quite welcome.

A little bit of work lately (mostly thinking). The "end" of my two sided layout is a critical scene/opportunity/crisis...I will have a beautiful Fos Dead Horse Bay featured prominently but I needed to create a transition from basically flat waterfront to my depiction of backwoods Maine on the other side of the curve. After meeting Joel Bragdon and his amazing rockwork system, my Maine hills look a little like the Rocky Mountains...so sue me - I like what I like  ;D . I'm a little bit Frary and a little bit Furlow....Here, I've started the foam landform and "shelf" where Dead Horse Bay will loom over the tunnel below. Ultimately, the rock faces will start on the pink foam and escalate in drama as they round the corner. On the "rockier side", I plan to build the mountainside around to a steep and dramatic cliff above the river and stone bridge. I always enjoy reading over my plans on this thread as I rarely complete anything as originally intended.

Your modeling is more than a little bit amazing.

What a fine looking scene this will make.
From the water to the woods great idea and I'm sure it will all blend together nicely.
Besides it your RR and what looks nice to you is all that counts.
