Good things come in narrow packages

[MasonJar]

Gus, my friend....Thank you for the complement on my "scenic ability". Since you are so good at it, it means all the more
Josh...Thank you!
Matthew...I appreciate it!

Small update:

As you can see in the pic, I am really going to be tight on space at the river. I think that we can all agree that curving it just wasn't feasible. I went with my original idea of keeping it wider in the front and narrow towards the back. Hopefully this will help give it an illusion of distance........we shall see. I widened it a little more up front and will use sculptamold to give it its final shape and also to slope the banks:



I will soon be turning towards my favorite part of the hobby.............Ballasting!.............oh joy!

Well, I might disagree... I like the idea of the narrow bridge to disguise it, but another possibility is a (very) sharp hook, and some overhanging trees and other vegetation along the back wall, so that it looks like the river has come around the bend. You might even combine this idea with the bridge, so that rather than right against the wall, the bridge is moved forward to allow a bit of landscaping/scenicking/vegetation at the backdrop.

Just my $0.02
