I really am *not* posting stage-by-stage on this but something worth showing is the scree slope



I've found tearing lumps from dense corks (such as from Prosseco) makes for more rounded boulders with the cork crumbling when attacked with a wide-tooth saw (such as a pruning saw) for making the scree. For rock faces with strata, cracks and other interesting features, standard wine bottle corks are better as they are less dense and so break apart with sharper, more defined edges.

Looking really good Steve. Can I ask, what are the white tubes sunken into the board for?

Sorry you've probably already explained.

Thanks Richard and Andy  :)

Andy, the sockets will each take a tree fitted with a plug, so that they will remove for storage, swapping around, etc.
