That’s the entirety of the reason for this post, to celebrate reaching the “three figures” worth of followers mark, but to make it worth your visit, I am posting some pics of the final stages of construction and painting of the Big Hill, and the hill laid out on the table, with and without troops…
(NOTE: as visible in some of the above pics, the material used to “mortar” the hill together, fill gaps between wood-chips, and add protection & texture to the bare styrofoam is my ubiquitous Elmer’s Wood Filler.)
NEXT UP: making some very simple and easy — but still good looking — single contour low sandy hills (like the ones at Charasiab) to link the rocky heights with the arid ground cover…
