WOW! Now that is a GORGEOUS mountain. I mean, no offense, but I wouldn't
paint a mountain yellow. However, if that was brown, gray, and any other
color it would look absolutely perfect. I'm sure it's extremely easy for you
to describe it in e-mail, but I don't think I could EVER make a mountain that
looks as good as that one. The flat top is absolutely perfect, the texture is
even better, and the realism is the best I have ever seen. I'm sure there
isn't a step by step process to making this is there?
