Ahh nice, now I get what going on

Added a few more branches, think it looks alright, was planning a few more but I am now thinking this might be sufficient, will have to think about it, maybe one or two smaller ones in the back, in the meantime I'll start on the hill.

Looking good, it's really come alive.

Started work on the hill, and the Torii gate. Hoping to get the build finished by next week so I'll have enough time to get everything painted

Coming along nicely

Might I suggest to cut the protruding ends of the torii a bit shorter (say, half of what they are now) so it balances it?

They do look a bit long, but I think it will be less noticable once I add the top, proportions wise I'm sort of following the guide I posted before, and unless I fucked up the calculations it should actually be that long, We'll see how it looks in the end, the entire thing is already quite a bit bigger than I planned, but I calculated the size from the width of the posts. I might reduce some things in size at the end if it looks better, but for now I'm sticking (sort of) to the plans

Looking fantastic! How do you put your structure onto your styrofoam? It looks a lot better than my attempts...

Nice progress!

Terrific looking base.

Almost finished, just need to finish texturing, one more pass with the sand on the hill, mostly around the tree. The Tree is now covered with a layer of filler followed by a mix of PVA and coffee, smells lovely. Once this is dry I'll take another pass with the coffee, and then hopefully I'll be ready to start painting on Friday, and hopefully the long Easter weekend will be enough to finish it.

the Brickwork was mostly drawn on using a pen, I then added a bit more detail using a scalpel, picking out a few individual bricks. The rockface is a combination of treebark, cork and sand
