Scenery construction progress

I've been working on scenery construction on the upper level in Room #1, and also down through the Loops transition peninsula toward the lower level.

At this writing, green-painted plaster scenic base has been completed for the upper level between Johns Creek and Smith (east end of the siding at Paint Bank.)   There is also ballast in this section and some trees and groundcover around the bridge at Johns Creek.

Cardboard webbing is in place (background only at this point) between the switches at Paint Bank siding. 

Green-painted plaster scenic base is in place from Paint Bank (west end of siding) through Forester, VA.

Cardboard webbing is underway for background areas between Forester and Coleman (east end of the siding on the mountain) and is complete for the backgound areas through Ridge (west end of that siding) and most of the Loops.  I'm working out the Andrews Geyser scene in my head before completing the strips there.

I have left the foreground benchwork on the Loops peninsula exposed for now to facilitate installation of CTC wiring. 

With any luck, I'll be slinging some plaster in the next few days.  Just seeing the cardboard web has created a different feel for the Loops area.  I'm looking forward to continued progress there.
