Looks like you're the Master of Plaster John!     Great job.  Things are coming along nicely.

Thanks Bob.

Today, I completed the base board. It will be ready to move to the workbench as soon as the glue dries. I actually used a section of my old layouts benchwork as an anchoring post. If you look underneath this section you can see all the benchwork from the old layout.

My new baseboard gloves this post so it slide into position and locks in place.


Here is a construction picture as I was assembling it.

And here it is slid into place.

All the details of the slopes and the waterfall etc will be done on the workbench.  Bob's first two kits will be side by side on the same hillside.

The casting for Salyes are already resin so I will only make molds if I need one of the casting for a scratch building project or to expand the retaining walls. It will be a while before I get to the Salyes build so I have some time to think about it.

Wow...I'm sure I've said it before but "you rock". Elite craftsman kits placed among those cliffs - amazing!


When the EXPO comes to Michigan, I'm in.
