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.

implements used to sculpt foam. The wire brush is the greatest tool ever. Made a mess but removed foam just how I wanted it to.
