I prefer the variation. More strait-aways. Better photo ops!
Win win!

Yikes, and I haven't really even gotten started on it yet.
But... I did finish the big bridge in the foreground.
Weathering is slightly different in T. You can't just slop it on like you often can in larger scales. This weathering on the bridge piers had to be dry-brushed on with a fan brush, and blended with chalk.

Amazing work! Hard to believe those girders are only 1/4" high.

| That would be in line with the stacked lines on the pieces, although on the concrete piers they don't look bad. |

Raw foam and foamboard acts like a sounding board, like a drumhead. Once the board is covered with scenery, it will become quiet.

Thank you, thank you.
As to blog comments, when I launched the blog I initially had them turned off. Since then I attempted to turn them back on. But Blogger has some bugs, and one of them is that reinstating comments doesn't always work. Out of my four blogs, it only worked on one (the one where I would probably never get any comments, naturally).
