The quartering of the hill looks very tidy. Cudos

That really looks amazing - what a mammoth piece/s.  :o

Great to see the whole project from concept to completion.

@B
My wife laughed when she read your question.  It is something of a joke in our house that should it suffer some sort of disaster then all that would be left would be my 'projects'.

I get the idea   :D -

reminds me of a similar joke about my father, who used to fasten everything to walls with screws double the size required. My mother used to say that if we ever got bombed, the shelves, lamps and paintings would be everything remaining upright cause they supported the walls ....

Amazingly awesome! From start to finish well documented and quickly done.  :-* :-* :-*

Wow, those look great finished!

I admit to doubts at some of your WiP shots - I was thinking the pieces would turn out to look really "game-y", but painted and finished they look far more realistic than I thought they would, and obviously still playable!

The flexiblity appeals too, and I have to second a comment on the other thread - put them closer together to create a gorge, and built a rope-bridge to span the gap!

yess, exactly, Indy!!

Well, a rope bridge is a rather minor addition that can be done without the rest, or not.

but this raised table - that's the thing of course!

I already see a train falling into a ravine after the bridge exploded  :D

SI - I'm slightly ashamed to confess I had my doubts about quite how your method was going to turn out from the early phases of the work. But now it's finished, I have to salute your ingenuity. That is a damned cunning way to construct an iconic (and very flexible) lump of rocky terrain, and the end result looks darned good. All just goes to show there's more than one way to skin a cat (how many of us have cats by the way, I've often wondered?)

 ;)

Well done you. I might try a little something similar myself :)
