Well, I finished the plaster work at Crowl and painted the basic ground color. Then came the slow and careful removal of the plastic covering that protected the photo. Here we see the east end of the area with the start of the photo backdrop. The white line is the base for the local road that will disappear into the scenery.
Looking back east towards the farm house in the photo, you see an overview of the area. The small building will be the Crowl Store. A culvert also has to be completed.
As we step back, it really looks good.
This is the west end of the area that will be blended into the town of Snydertown. Some large buildings will cover the corner.
A couple more views
Looking down the whole area. Shows the sweep of the track as well.
The last bare shot shows the road base coming in to the scene.
A couple of days later and the ground cover crew is working to make things look better. Paul is our road builder so he is working on putting a smooth covering on that. The ground cover crew has already been through the area. The photo is being pulled into the scene. I like it.
We have a new member, Tim, and he is putting on the green and brown ground cover. He is working with our master gardener, Mike.
Mike is working back towards Paul and you can see how nice things look with some green added.
A action shot of the whole crew from last Monday night.
The finished section. The road stands out for now. We have to go back next with some rough turf and greenery to give more dimension to the area. The black surface is where the Shamrock water tank and a section house will go.
It really has blended the photo into the scene!
