Glad you liked it Brendan. I know that some people prefer a "pure" LEGO
mountain (so would I, but I'd rather use the limited bricks I have for other
projects), I modeled it after a mountain that was on the cover of a S@H
catalog I saw a few years back. I do agree that the yellow it a bit much,
king of gives it that "cheese" look, but I was going for that southwestern
desert look. But I do need to repaint it and give it more a southeastern
look, I wonder if Home Depot can match "Georgia Clay" red? I guess I could
just take the floor mat from my front entrance way at my house and get them
to match it. ha!
If anyone wants some details on building the mountain, drop me an email and
I'll do my best to describe the process.
