My first module - Installing the bridge

Now it's time to install the bridge.

Here is my Exactrail 50' girder bridge weathered lightly with AIM Products powders finally glued in place.  I also added more weathering to the abutments.

My first module - Sunrise

It is amazing the effect sunlight has.

My first module - Ground cover

Adding the second layer of soil.  This time I'm using two additional soil types as well as the original base.  

All the soil comes from Arizona Rock & Mineral Co.  I started with their "Low Desert Soil" then changed to "High Desert Silty Earth" where I wanted a reddish tinge to the soil, and used "High Desert Sand & Gravel" where I wanted a paler soil colour.

My first module - Painting castings - The fun begins

This is a reminder of where I am heading towards.

Now that the plaster castings are in place I could start painting, the fun part.  

My first module

This is my first module.  The first tentative steps beyond just collecting.  

This module is a mainline through a tunnel over a small bridge beside a stream in the mountains. Inspired by Pelle Soeborg.  Hopefully it will look like a piece of the Canadian Rockies.

My first module - progress

These are how it was looking a few week ago after I'd completed the first ground cover layers.
