The Atlantic and Southern Build, Part 1

[GPdemayo]

I can't believe Jimmy the D was so nice to you after you almost gave him a coronary when you burned down his building.....you might want to think twice before you do that to him again, after this.

I drew pencil lines where the road was located and added spackle to build up road to the level of the cardboard.

Greg,

Let me remind you and all others, I didn't burn his structure.

It was a faulty LED that was being sold by SLIM!   My build, his bad LED.


Now, back to the regular programming.

Here are all the necessary tools for this job.

Phone, drill, glue, spackle, level, tape measure, one found screw and of course, DIET PEPSI!




I then used a putty knife and filled in the rest of the terrain.

While the spackle was drying, I moved to the bascule bridge.



I marked the location of the bridge on the plywood.




The markings indicate where the guard rail piling will be located.

I next turned my attention to painting the river bottom.

I used Golden Artist Colors. For the colors I used -

1. Burnt Umber
2. Raw Umber
3. Yellow Ochre
4. Phthalo Blue (Green Shade)
5. Sap Green Hue




I blended the paint to blend into the photo backdrop.

I had a hair brained idea to make the parking lot asphalt. ERRR, bad idea so you only get two pictures of this mess.





I started to add scenery to this area.

Next came some trees.







I used the broken branches from the trees as under growth like small shrubs and stuff.

Tom

I must have bad intel.....a little birdie told me that Slim thought the problem was caused by improperly installed LED materials....."just sayin."

Greg,



Do you think for one minute Slim would admit to selling a bad/defective product.

Just saying back.
