Nachoman's GOYD challenge 2013

[nachoman]

Here is where I am starting from. I already had the terrain for the hotel foundation done, but I had stopped before finishing the stairwell and rockwork out front. The terrain was built from foam, and I had hoped to smear a thin layer of plaster on top of the foam and carve it into rocks. It's working out okay, but if the plaster veneer is too thin, my scribing tool pokes through and I need to patch things up. In hindsight, I should have cast and carved the rocks in molds on the workbench, and glued them to the layout. But, I have come too far to turn back now.

   

The main shell and roof of the hotel is done, but it needs much finishing work.
