I got some project time today. I started with coffee at 4:30 this morning. I got a resin casting almost done but my eyes are too tired to finish. I’m going to add a little more color and probably one final wash of ink. I didn’t like how the deck was lining up directly over the hill so I cut that section and moved it forward about an inch. Directly in between where the piles go. It also created space for a a retaining wall like I saw on here. Tomorrow I will finish that casting and probably go after the 3D wood barrels that are just simply amazing. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend! ![IMG_6643](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/8/854a359df163f447da4c3b2559aaedba66f8f3de.jpeg) ![IMG_6642](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/6/69d37b3e45218d5badd44541ddc476afaa99fe36.jpeg) ![IMG_6645](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/f/fcd94404f77cd061c95d57a5b8b782b8c9c516e5.jpeg) ![IMG_6644](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/c/cd91e812b4cb578cff628348573928f3c7be1497.jpeg) ---

Dan, SW castings are the best there are, and you did this one proud! Nice coloring. The retaining wall is a nice feature. ---

So after milling it around I decided to do the Christmas Green on my machinery. It just feels tight. I’m waiting until installation time to weather them. The larger miter gears are my favorite detail in the kit. ![IMG_6705](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/9/9628e4e4462b25216bd80bf75a1e2827516cc476.jpeg) ---
