All that to clean up the backside of a mountain.

Insane 101.

[bustr]

Couldn't take it anymore and wanted to look at the work up to this point. Still have to finish the west side of the mountain.

It was pretty while it lasted, now back to the grind.





A little coastal cliff action. When I lived on Hokkiado island japan, much of the coast was cliffs or a small coastal plain backed by erosion cliffs like this spot.

Terrains are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get until you get there.......

All that to clean up the backside of a mountain.





What a mountain back side it is.

[bustr]

Now it's all collective backends of the backsides of mountains....

Back to that coastal cliff action.

After awhile, palm leaves, branch bifurcation, feathers, fur, mold cultures, frost growth, water trickles, molecule chains all look the same. And your brain just wants to unconsciously help.

Just had to look at it painted.....still have those 3 valley's on the west side.





Then I still have those eastern sections....

[bustr]

The arrrrrgghhhhs have it, still have those eastern sections.

[bustr]

Once more into the breach....

[bustr]

Geeezzz, forgot until now I needed a way to keep the CV's out from behind the SW HQ and a place for the strats......Douh!!





Gotta leave it half finished until I'm laying down this country's strats. Have to account for rail tracks. Yes to the right is a 5ft high 1mile wide picture frame boarder outside of the CBM view port area to keep the task groups in the arena.

That thar be some fine whatsis pulling....................

The disks are 8,000ft and about 4-6 miles in diameter so I have generous extra mass to carve and shape. The hardest thing about this is limiting myself to the vertical limitations I preset. The tan valley bottom guides are graded from the top coming off the side of a 5,000ft on average mountain ridge and peak. Then graded down to the water with the sides of the ridge runs graded down to the tan line along the whole run. The cross section would be like an ice cream scoop pulled across the top of a tub of ice cream. Then I start at the top and add on side ridges or cut in further water cuts down the sides. After the 3 previous terrains I've come up with a reasonably fast technique for creating all of that. It's rather simple once you realize how to do it. And you can see that by all the mountains I've put onto this terrain so far.

It always amazes me how little vertical room I have to work with once I finish the valley central grade and start working in the side channels.
