Totally inspiring. :) Its looking great already. From your initial drawings I was struggling to imagine how it would- the effect so far is brilliant. :)  I can't wait to see the various options laid out once painted up.
Me too
I am not sure if I would have joined all four together for cutting apart later. I think it may cause you problems :o

My, if that is what you do when plastered, I shudder to think what you could produce in a sober state... ;) lol

That´s looking mighty fine, and very "game-able" too.

Obviously, the cliffs could have been done with forest bark, which would have been quicker and cheaper,

Really? Where do you get your bark from? I couldn't get enough to do a mountain that size for £9.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Ah, the floor mulch stuff. You reckon that would work? I always thought it would probably be too regular due to the shapes and the gaps between them. I suppose you could combine it with the plaster bandages though to hide the edges. Might be worth a try as I still need to make some big cliffs for a board edge.

Gotta love that Hornby product page. £2.25 for Medium Cork Bark, what the hell is medium cork bark? I can accept Medium as a size given for t-shirts but not for modelling materials!

It already looks great at this stage.  8)
I too had trouble imagining the finished appearance but it definitely looks the DB's.  :-*

I know the brand, I'm currently using their version of No More Nails to build my labyrinth :)

Could you take some shots as you work with it? I've never considered it as a modelling material.

I don’t know how you managed to do this… Well... I know because you show us but I’m sure that if I was the one to give it a try it would look like a pile of **** and nothing would fit together. lol

Nice work!  8)
