First wash of diluted black ink.

The mountains got their first was of colour today. What a difference it made! I did the whole thing at once and went through a whole bottle of ink. I mixed about 8 cc's of ink into 2 pints of water and filled it probably 12 times. I started with a spritz bottle but soon switched to a pump up style sprayer due to my hand feeling like it was going to fall off. Worked really well. Will let it dry overnight now before I start adding other various washes of colours like raw umber, burnt sienna and raw sienna. Here is a trip around the sprayed area.

Rock Molds & more Rock Molds!

It's been a long time since I have posted any updates but a lot progression has been made since May. Not much happened over the summer months but many molds were placed since September and a bridge or two has been built as well. I am letting it all dry for at least a week to make sure I get even absorbtion of the washes I will be spraying on. Those will soon be added and I will post pictures of my progress. I also prepared the area where the snow shed kit I bought will go. I used my hawkeye laser level to make sure everything was straight. Here are some pictures of the progress so far.
