Building "Clearwater Industries"

[clearwater]

The dock

was the creative job. I built the walls with plaster, waited until they dried a little and then
I scored the fugues with a graver. The result were the stones in the walls.
After brushing them a little with different colors I spent them a light blue wash to
imitate tides.
I glued small frames of matches to the base of the dock and colored it too.
I made cubes from modeling clay to preserve the frames from epoxy which I poured
into the dock. Here the footbridge (is that the correct vocabulary?) will find
it´s place later.
As you can see I arranged the bridge for the railroad removable to reach every point
of my layout to make it looking fine!

The footbridge (?) was rarely installed when the first nudes came to enjoy the hot sun
and the warm harbor water ....

By the way: I do not have any pics of building the footbridge (?) but I can tell you
in a few words how I produced it:
I went collecting rocket battens on new year, sawed and glued them and painted them
whith different browns and brushed them at last with a little white, that´s all.
