It's been a long time....

So....you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs...am I right?   After some thought (it honestly only took a second) I decided I didn't want to use the snowshed I had built infront of the tunnel portal for my mountain area scenery.  The problem was the plaster rock behind it had been shaved and carved flat to accommodate it.  So with some degree of courage I grabbed my oscillating tool and carved out the section of plaster.  Once I carefully knocked it loose with a small hammer I mixed up a fresh batch of plaster and gooped it in place.  I really did...it's sort of the consistency of not quite soft ice cream.  Anyways...as it sets up I can start shaping it and then carving it to match the surrounding area.  Next steps are my base coat of grey paint, a wash coat and then the colouring stage.
