Just a quick note for this morning. I'm currently capturing and upload
pictures of Burp Mountain, featured in the recent town building contest, in
which I was awarded 3rd place for the 'Structures' category. These pictures
are the current (more detailed) previously seen rendition of the mountain. I
wanted to get these out before it is redesigned for Brickfest 2001. Here's
the link:  http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4528

My redesign will include 1) More sections 2) Separate tunnel entrance pieces
3)2 45 degree turn pieces that will allow a full 90 degree turn if it is
configured for a turn.

Sounds like you came to many of the same conclusions as I did after my first
mountain.(1)

Very impressive work - you've got it much more modular than I managed;
although I'm rebuilding from scratch for each show, so I've got a little
more leeway for that... for me, modules are so I can fit it through doors,
not change it around. :D

Thank you for your kind words. I concieved the design with the express idea
that the mountain would durable, reusable, and potentially 'fresh' for every
exhibition that it would appear. It's somewhat of a shame that it was only
in one show in it's present form so far. But it will be at Brickfest,
bigger, badder, and with more interesting features.
