    That looks great Ken. Are you planning on leaving it as a dry bed or eventually model the water?
  • ALCOALCO
    River bank is a nice touch! Only you…
  • randyprandyp
    Ken, I agree with ALCO. Great job on the river bank. Also a very nice bridge. Randy

    Looking nice so far.....I build all of my stuff to eventually be on my layout...but since I am no where near to having all areas of the layout planned ( I just added about 80sq feet more) I have started building everything on 1/2" foam....except the sawmill...it's size calls out for 1" foam.....that way I can "plant it in a hole in the foam and scenic up to it....watch for a thread on it soon....

    Hey thanks Emery! I will be doing a water pour for the creek/river. Will add some logs and debris along the bank as well.

    Thanks Al, I think the bank detailing will look pretty good and fun to do.

    Appreciate that Randy. The water will make a big difference.

    Thanks much Art. Good plan for the layout.

    Wonderful work.
  • kebmokebmo

  • Jerry
    The wall perfect. And what a beautiful start for the building to be placed on.
    Perfection as always!!

    Very nice. Like the cut bank, That's something that's seldom modeled.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Thanks much Karl.

    I have enough trouble just keeping up with my current projects Kevin! Thanks for the nod buddy.

    Too kind Jerry! Nice hearing from you my friend as always.

    Thanks Tom. It should have a good look once its done. I just put in a couple of stumps with exposed tree roots on the bank.

    The interior walls look very nice. I really like the cut bank.
  • Robert.GRobert.G
    Nice touch, the cut bank !! And what a super work you are doing on the walls and details !! But we keep repeating ourselves.. :smiley:
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Thanks Bryan. Hope the detailing of the area holds up!

    Appreciate that Robert. Will be moving on to the blacksmithing walls...only two!
  • KKarnsKKarns
    I finally have the main structure glued to the base. I have also started the detailing of Deer Creek. Much more to do but wanted to post a progress shot just to keep things going.

    I don’t know Ken…looks bad. Those work in progress shots are always rough.

    All kidding aside, this is just an absolutely stunning beginning. You are truly a master of all aspects of the craft and it’s a pleasure to follow your work.
  • randyprandyp
    Ken that creek bank with the roots looks fantastic. Randy
  • KKarnsKKarns
    lol...Thanks so much Travis! Appreciate the kind words my friend.

    Hey Randy. Thought I'd give the root thing a try and turned out reasonably well. The "water" will make a big difference. Really appreciate your thoughts.
  • Karl.AKarl.A
    Fantastic work Ken, this is going to be beautiful, and amazing, again.
  • MuddyCreekRRMuddyCreekRR
    Totally digging the undercut bank...as I've said before...."Looks realer than real..."
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Thanks much Karl. Nice to get to this part of the build.

    Thanks Art, like to try something different with every project and the creek/river bank is it so far.
  • Robert.GRobert.G
    What a great idea, the roots of those trees showing half in the water.. Super !!!!
  • adminadmin
    Love the detailing. Those exposed roots!
  • Jerry
    Just beautiful work. Those roots really are something to admire!

    Jerry
  • ALCOALCO
    Wow, Ken! Can’t wait til you pour the water. I like how you extended the bank around the dio corner.
  • TomMich
    Like I said before the under cut river bank is something rarely modeled, and you have nailed it! The logs, debris and roots really make the scene fantastic! Can't wait to see what's next.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Thanks much Brett. Look forward to detailing the Blacksmith Shop with the SWSM Blacksmith Set.

    Thanks Robert, I actually got the inspiration from a section of creek bank at my cabin in SE Ohio. I got the roots from there as well.

    Well appreciate ya Jerry and thanks!

    I'm looking forward to the pour as well Al. However, as slow as I model that may be a bit down the road! That's really nifty Al that you noticed the rounded corner. I wanted to have the visual effect of the river winding around rather than just a straight stretch behind the repair shed. Just that little curve gives the illusion of a winding creek/river even if you don't see it!

    Thanks Tom and the effect did turn out better than I had hoped and should really come together with more scenic detailing later on, and of course the water pour to finish it off.
