Well there TM for a Georgia boy who has never seen a mountain, you did a pretty darned good job with it. I forgot them hobos get around quite a bit. I like the forced perspectivein your construction gives the mountain more depth. Good job there younker.

Update on the mountain. I did not like the plane look of the gray so after talking to Catt he told me how to make it look more realistic with some black color so i had to think about what he was tell me last night and got out of the bed this morning a mountain painting fool LOL. So here is a new and improved mountain

Hey buddy you got molehills and call them mountains just like they do in the north but if you want mountains go west young man go west. Now that we have that cleared up I still like the forced perspective of your mountain and it reaally starting to look good.

Mountains?

In my home state of New Jersey, there was a map that showed a topographic feature "Jemima Mountain." Elevation: 99 feet! Even I had to laugh at that one.

The highest point in NJ is High Point, at 1803 feet. I recall reading a technical definition of a mountain being at least 1000 feet above the surrounding terrain. High Point might just squeeze into that definition, but I think it's fair to say (even as a native) that "Joisey" doesn't really have any mountains. Hey, at least we're not Delaware or Florida!

Nice work, Trainman! The black does add depth to the rockwork.

Great job TM!

Adding a darker color brings out the depth and adds to the natural appearance....and yours look great!

Keep up the awesome work
