Thanks Mike.
Here's how the lower section looks in place.
The bits above the tunnel portals will have removable rock moulds just sitting there. Then all the edges against the cliffs will simply have bushes & trees to disguise the joins.

Thanks. Hope no one got hurt in that thumbs up battle. [:-thumbu][:-thumbu][:-thumbu][:-thumbu]
Anyhow, here is the rear half of the mountain, again built up with stacked styrofoam sheets.
The Pine trees I made using the traditional bottle brush method. For the other trees, I just use twig armatures that I find when out on my walks, and either use Lichen or poly fibre, then cover with ground foam as foliage.

Thanks Mike.
The upper section with the short road will be a scenic lookout, so probably park like. I'm tossing up whether to put a diner there, or just a small take away food place. I have a diner that I've already made, so will see. Of course, I have a lot more trees to go in, and intend to probaly double the amount of pine trees for this area, when I can get to making them.
I also intending to detail the backdrop.

The next bit over to the right of the mountain was done with the same rock moulds. Also, because there is hidden track in there as well, I made another two liftout sections for access.
The tree'd area with the retaining wall completely lifts out, and also the bottom cliff below the retaining also come out. The lower one was made with the FRock method.
