RRL Challenge

There's a challenge on Railroad Line Forums .. "The Par Four Challenge" .. I'm playing. So far .. just scratching at plaster. Not easy taking pics of white plaster .. looking forward to adding color.

That looks very interesting!

A bit further along. While not Fine Scale Modeling .. figure I can probably call it Medium ..

[Ray Dunakin]

I like it! How did you make the stone walls?

[eTraxx]

Just used some Leggos for a quick mold then scribed the mortar joints.

Great modelling Ed, I like the mix of the different materials.

I kinda like the lines the legos left!

Having fun using this as a way to try stuff. Point ... I turned off the lights in the room and used a desk-top LED lamp pointing up and reflecting off of a white board back onto the model. Really like the way it lights up everything. Looking at this .. the scribed mortar lines are too dark .. thinking I may try a pin-wash with a gray'ish color

Nice carving Ed. I would be afraid of messing up a row or something.

Thanks gents! Didn't do anything today .. except snapped a couple pics in the sunlight through the br window ..







I rather like this .. a small area to try diff techniques .. quite fun.

Using spices is a very creative idea. Glad I thought of it. -- Russ
