I made a small mountain that fits on three baseplates arranged corner • style for
a quarter circle of train track.  I was running out of gray bricks/BURPS, • so I
added a curved roadplate as the corner baseplate, making a tunnel space • for that
as well.  The mountain features a waterfall and is my first attempt at a • more
organic looking MOC.  Pics are here:

Pro's:

Well thought out.
Easy access to rear in case of a derailment.
Well assembled.
Great color mixing.
Lots of detail.
Awesome waterfall.

Cons:
Where does the creek come from?  (looks like you need more mountain, or a
place where to creek starts from)
The creek on the top looks like its green in hue. (maybe the photography).
Does it have to be 90 degrees (quarter circle)?
It seems rather flat on the top.
Looks rather square on the back...

Space constraints - but you're right, it looks contrived that way. (...) Definately. (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)
