Still playing around with the retaining wall castings and the tunnel portal.
I scratchbuilt an abutment for the tunnel out of some 1/8" plywood and 1/8" square stripwood. I painted it with some burnt umber to simulate treated timber. My current plan is to create a narrow slope between the abutment and the cast retaining wall.
Speaking of the retaining wall castings, I've noticed that the ends have a slight curve or bowing to them. I'm going to cast a couple more and then cut the ends flat and square using the saw at work for a better fit.
