| Yes Marty, the rock are fine. I would be quite happy with them on my layout. The thing that gives foil rocks away to me is sharp edges and you've avoided them. |

Pfffffff almost done rocking up the coastline on 3 outa 4 stil a small part on the end where it joins the other module..
the joints have to look like this, joint between module 2 and 3...
Also worked a bit on the rocks to the tunnel entrance, bit of practice to for the slate quarry. Wanted them to look like blown, cut and hacked...
think I leave the rocks for a moment now and start on painting or something  |

| Selling ready made rock ? Or the moulds...lemme think about that. On the other hand the hobby turns into work and I already did that with furniture making... |

Added another scenery piece to module 2 today. Been thinkin about it for a couple of days now how I should fill the wye. Decided to go for a big chunk of rock. It also functions as a viewblocker looking at the tunnel entrance and the bridge when I put some young trees on it. Works two ways because it blocks a part of the view on the bay that's under construction when the cameracar comes out of the tunnel....
Decided to give this a slate look, like the RR uses the old quarries to lay their track through |

One ring to rule them all...
Change the theme to Steam Punk LOTR perhaps?
Looks very good! Must try foil rocks someday.

| Would be a great project indeed. How high would be a hobbit-passenger car? |

Hmm dunno maybe use some N scale stuff for that ?
N scale along the z-axis, O scale along the x and y-axis... Although I think it might be too disproportionate. HO scale on z-axis would probably be better... [:-spin] |
