Andy (aka "the man who turns my crazy ideas into 3D reality") dropped round today for a while, and we set to on adding terrain to the new beach boards.
(The way Andy and I work is he's much better with large-scale tools than I am, and I have a better knack for visualising and describing what I want in 3D... it's a good team.)
Here's a gallery of what went on today - next up we start texturing the rock faces, a bit more work with the sander and maybe start painting.

| A jigsaw to cut the basic outline of the promontory. |
 |
| Which sits like so on the board... |
 |
| Cutting the edges of the bay out of the excess. |
 |
| Annoyingly the sheet of foam we had isn't 600mm wide... |
 |
| Last bit of spare on that sheet of foam makes the upper layer. |
 |
| Andy using the Japanese saw (no spine on the blade) to do some broad shaping of the access paths to the promontory. |
 |
| ...and after some finer work with a long-bladed craft knife, here we are... |
 |
| ....and a path up the other side as well. |
 |
| Some Loctite Power Grab to hold the two halves together |
 |
| And a little bit of work with the Japanese saw, craft knife and electric sander to smooth the beach off. |
 |
| Experimenting with one of the old beach boards to see how I can do waves... any guesses how this was done? |
Coming along nicely.
