Rocky times
Here are some piccies of how the headland is looking at the moment with the initial batch of castings from my Bragdon Enterprise moulds after filling and carving.
As you'll see, the casting at the rear is full of cracks. This is because of the way I'm doing the casting. To save weight all castings are very thin (wafffer thin if you're a Monty Python fan) and are cast flat, then cracked to fit the foam scenic base beneath. Filler is then applied to the gaps and carved to shape.
The gaps in the headland that show brown at present will have some more paper mache filled in to match the surrounding ground levels after the castings were applied.
I still need to do some work around the baseboard joint, but this should merge in nicely when I've finished.
Given that the boards are under 2' deep I'm pleased with the impression of depth in this shot.
