The painting is amazing. I really love the stone at the entrance to the tunnel. I like the idea of sanding the edges of those stones. I am going to do that on one of my projects. And I like the spatter aspect as well - that's kind of how I paint. Eagerly awaiting the finished project.

Whoa!! Utterly speechless..... The greatest work so far my friend! Bravo!

Just splendid. Can't wait to see photos of it in your complete layout. Howard, your talents are quite humbling - thanks for sharing all your knowledge.

It takes my breath away - in awe. This is spectacular. I just can't believe how great the drawbridge is. And then the eagle over the opening to the castle. And the train passing through. Everything really. Thank you so much for sharing all of these details all along.

Howard, this is a true masterpiece!!

I would LOVE to see this lighted up Howard! Please "flip" the switch.

That's a lot of excellent work, but I imagine you will get much enjoyment out of it in your train set up.

Wow Howard--just splendid!

You continue to amaze with your creative approach to all your work. This was a very complicated and inventive project which you pulled off beautifully. Wixhing you and yours a very Merry warm Christmas. Tom
