First mountain - late feb 07 

Late Febuary 07. Built my first pink foam mountain. Got some track laid. Pulled some track up. Things are progressing. I'm actually pretty proud of the way this turned out for my first try considering I have nearly no artistic talent at all.

I used tacky glue and 4" bamboo skewers to hold the pieces together and also to the base of the layout itself.
