New Scenic Ideas please

[Dave Cooper]

Thanks Graeme. Yes, the mouth seems to be progressing upwards and in-wards as I add more bits and pieces. I think I can see how David's ("Clayliner") suggestions will work now as well.

Started work today blending in the nearby cliff/rock structure, adding a few paint streaks here and there just to see the colour match with the other rock faces eg canal sides etc.

I will post some more shots in a few days time for you to get the general feel so far...

Tunnel mouth looks a bit "Hogwarts" !

Scope for improvement could include :-
Move depth back toward baseboard edge, forwards towards camera, increase hill height (to make it more 'believable'), re-shape mouth, soften with vegetation etc ? Also, not sure about 'blends' with canal drop and cliff back-scene. All ideas welcome...

Better photo may help :-

Thanks, WALLSHIRTS - I'm making progress, sometimes it's two steps forwards, one step back but, progress (and learning !)

Regards,
Dave

Tunnel depth extended back to (near) baseboard edge - for connection to fiddle yard. Some early painting attempts to colour match rock faces and hill-side blends. Art paper (Bockingford) added to provide some scope for scenic development - road and foot traffic mainly...painted skies and distant hill painting to do. 'Landie' is in "REME" insignia for some reason !
