Waiting for glue to dry is boring, so I'm adding up costs of other pieces I want to add.

Pair of wooden row boats

Greedy to the End

On top of all of the above and what I mentioned on page 1, there is the cost of building

up the hillsides, which should be minimal, adding mosses, trees, and grasses, then

whatever lights we can make using LEDs. I'd really like this to be finished by June.

Budget and how much I can make myself will tell how long it takes.

Oh yeah, and some of these are new pieces not released yet, so I have to wait

until they are available. lol

 

Dock set up, barrels and crates by dock and some pieces of cut-up Great Stuff in a corner. I had used them for practice carving and painting.
Fresh Great Stuff is applied over the cut up pieces to anchor it to the board then left to cure. About 3 hours I believe.

Glopping some papier mache pulp over the GS to start sculpting hillside. All of the pulp I'm using is from a combo of boiled, shredded newspaper and torn paper towels that has been boiled and run through a blender. Paste is a combo of boiled flour/water, a spoonful of salt, drop of dish liquid and white glue.

Half of the GS covered, letting it dry some while I mix up more pulp. As it dries, you can see the color variations in the batches of pulp.

 

In case of curiosity, here are links to the pieces I want.
