Tracking Into The Tunnel

In this episode, I build up the second access: Upper Pilgrim Lake, Paint the HIghlands, Add some rock, and Paint the Tunnel Entrance face.

The top of the watefall: Upper Pilgrim Lake, needs more structure, more rock and form to hold the water in, for the waterfall. As well, The Highlands mountaintop needs reinforcing.

Tunnel Entrance!
Using Woodland Scenics' Plaster Cloth, I create a bond for the tunnel casting and the scenery base. Once the base is glued, I will use Slate Gray, Stone Gray, and Black paint washes to blend the brick into the mountain.

With the basic structures finished, I start putting on a basecoat of paint. This Raw Umber Burnt Umber mix is a wash to cover the white undercoat. Eventually, I will glue down some scenic grass and cover, and seal the entrie top of the Highlands Mountain.

Stay Tuned... more posts will follow, with updates and progress to come...
