No comment needed for the next few pictures.

I then marked off where the fishing (Happy Huts) shacks and dock pilling were to be located.







I then marked where the river bank would come down to the water's edge.

I used a product Kill and Kris Cutler turned me on to, Fusion Fibre. It's a mix of finely ground cotton and powdered glue. Mixed with water and you have instant earth spackle.




After mixing, I spread it around and within my ink and pencil lines to form the river bank.

The build thread for the fishing shacks is on this thread.

I then used spackle to fill the holes and depressions.





More tomorrow morning. Slowly but surely I'm getting there.

I appreciate everyone's patience as I continue to update the layout build thread.

Tom,
          Wow! looks like you're building a whole new layout!  It looks just like the one you were building for the last 4-ever. Oh wait is this layout 2.0? No wait! it's ground hog day, railroad style.  Yeah that's it.   Ok should I re-post my old posts so everything is reiterated?   khaki pants...

Yeah, it appears that anything I posted during the black out has disappeared.  My post count is still not restored.

Wow..... You're building it faster this time than you did the first time.

Damn.  I feel like one of my favorite wings of the main library has burnt down.

Really cool, Thanks for posting! I'm re- working my layout also and am interested to see what you do with yours!
