Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

Did some base coat painting this evening, focused mostly on the riverbed or the banks just above it.  With the river making a sharp bend (in real life it's much more gradual), there will have been quite a few scouring events during heavy rainfalls.  I gave some thought to adding some of the ruins of the old canal that existed on the west side, but there just isn't enough room.  It's going to be a rocky bank with some stubborn trees and shrubs.  As I get about 20 feet up the trees will get more substantial.  Tomorrow night I'll focus in on detail work on the potential rock areas and detailing the riverbed itself.  Once I'm happy with the riverbed I'll get the Realistic Water out and pour the lowest areas (in the turn) first and build up toward the edge of the layout.
