Mina County has a covered bridge!!!!!

Continuing work...coming along great.  Here are some photos that detail the highlights:

This is a bridge I've been working on, laser-cut wood, assembled with Elmer's all-purpose glue put on thin with a brush.  Two weeks of work and it's finally done but for the weathering.

A little pond at the bottom of rock outcroppings along the track.  Not entirely done yet.

A collapsed building between the tracks before Jasper Rock (what I've been calling that monolith in my mind).  I rebuilt Jasper Rock, coated it with gypsum, added hydrocal molded rocks and painted it.

My dad built this building out of paper!!!!  Looks pretty damned great!

The river, after a final coat of blue-tinted varnish. I still want to add some more rocks.

This was a couple of blocks of 2" pink foam.  I carved the strata using a hot wire carver, coated it in gypsum and painted it.  No rock molds were used to make this at all.

This stone retaining wall was made from a thin sheet of foam, cut with shallow cuts with a hot knife and painted with three different colors of acrylic only partially mixed together.  The cliffs here were done the same way the ones above were.
