Have made good progress on the project and landscape, with the basic done, as well as the crumbly dirt. I also made the electric blue mutant plants and installed them as wells as the purple grasses,  set up for the toxic water pools and the poisonous red mold. Hope to start painting it all tomorrow, and will try to get a picture, but it may not be until Sunday after church.

PS, also pegged the car to help it stay in place better.

Good progress

Had an opportunity to get a few quick pics, so here it is. All of the base coats are done to the ground and the first wash has been applied to the main ground portion. The scree, debris and the car are just set in place for the pictures. They will all go in toward the very end but i thought you might get a better idea of the overall look with them in place.







Nick describes three basic mutant plant forms - the tentacle like electric blue, a purple with no other description and a red weed. I am taking the red weed as more like a moss that grows around pools of water as he does not say much about it either. The main pant he describes is the blue one.

More soon,

Terry

It really is, just SO good  !

Cheers - Phil

Fantastic

 

Huge effort - great results. Bravo!

Nearly finished!!! Here are a few pictures of the project, which I am referring to as Project X, as it is all but finished. I still need to do an little touch-ups I see, and do the pools of toxic water, but neither of that will take very long. Then paint the base edge add the dedication and mail it off. Have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this and am pleased with how it has turned out. I sure hope Nick likes it.







I'll share final pictures once it's done,

Terry

Really look forward to that, Terry !!

Cheers - Phil

 

It has been a joy to watch this progress

In a way it will be sad for it to be finished, but I am really looking forward to seeing the end result and hearing of the author's reaction

Brilliant work Terry and I'm sure Nick will be happy with it; I would.

Superb! 

Friends, Project X is finished. I did the final bits today and will share pictures of it tomorrow. I had great fun working on it and working through the problems and challenges, and am truly anxious to send it to Nick. He is in Germany until next week so I will mail it Friday or Saturday probably. Now I can only pray it arrives safely (I'm going to double box it).

There are so many little details that are put into it that I am sure many will go unnoticed,  but that's OK as  I just want  Nick to be happy with it. I'am pleased with the results or I wouldn't be sending it to anyone!

My very sincere thnaks to all of you who have supported me with this and made such nice comments. It truly helps one stay focused. THANK YOU

I will share any response I receive form Nick.

Sincerely,

Terry

It has been a joy to share in this labour of love. Many thanks for sharing it with us.

Gentlemen, this will be the last planned post by me on this project, which I have officially named "Project X". I will be packing it up and shipping it off to Nick either tomorrow or Saturday. I am going to double box it with plenty of padding to hopefully get it there in one piece.

Here is an assortment of pictures of the finished project. There is a lot of detail and I know a lot of it will be missed unless you are the one who created it. But some things to look for are: the Florida license plate on the rear hatch of the car, the broken water line coming out into the toxic pond on the right side, the broken car taillight lens glass, the purple mutant plant growing out of a hole in the floor of the library to name a few.

Again, I want to thank everyone for their interest, very kind remarks and on going support. Makes a person feel good about what he is doing!



























On to the next project!!!

Terry

Cracking work Terry. It's really good to see it all come together. I'd forgotten all the detail of the building interior with the recent focus on the car.

Terry, a masterpiece. Completely brilliant.

 

Stunning

Often close up photography reveals flaws or things that could have been done better. For this project it reveals layer upon layer of fascinating detail immaculately executed

Phenomenal work Terry!

A tremendous amount of wonderfully executed detail there.

Thanks for sharing this with us!

Love all the details that show up in the pictures from various angles. Evocative and breathtaking work, Terry.
Even with all the details, my favorite photo is the one backgrounded by the books, completes the story.
