Working on the Land Form

We are starting to add plaster cloth, working from beneath the bridge in another room. Cloth is up on the left side
Both banks completed so I can now go back in the main room. 
Coming along the river, you can see the tunnel portal and wall above the plastering as we put the cloth along the banks.
We have finished the far side of the river and as much of the near side as we can do until we make the tunnel.
It is beginning to look like a river.
The junction of new work and old work. We are adding the Structolite to the left. 
Structolite is completed and the ground color has been added. 
The portal complex has been installed. Paul is adding the basic colors of ground foam before coarse turf is laid. He had to climb into the river to reach the far shore. 
A closer look at the portal with its finished coloring. 
I ballasted the track into the tunnel before we finished installing it. I also added glue strips to he back of the walls so I could add the webbing to it without harming the expanded foam. 
I had to notch the portal to allow trailer trains to go through as it sits on the interior of a curve with super elevation. You can see the white spot from the notch before I painted it.
Looking back the other way, the ground covering is going in. 
Paul is now adding grass coloring to the area.

 Next up, I have to integrate the plaster work around the portal and walls.
