Road Show Terraformed


The revetments for the water battery can be seen in this photo
With the terrain forms carved I added a layer of light weight patching plaster to smooth out the carved terrain. Before I did that, I made sure all the pink pieces were securely glued to the plywood surface and backdrop. I used yellow glue along the perimeter in places where it was needed.


I carved a trail heading down to the waters edge on the shipyard scene. Most of this slope will be covered with a marine ways showing a barge under construction.
The bottom photo shows a mock-up of the through truss bridge planned for that section. Also visible are some bluffs and slopes I added to give that section some vertical relief. This will add some variety as the other sections are essentially flat.
