There's a challenge on Railroad Line Forums .. "The Par Four Challenge (http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=38875)" .. 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 ..

I like it! How did you make the stone walls?
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.
I like it Ed.
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.
Playing with leaf clutter .. using spices
Crushed Mint and Marjoram

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