Villageman
"Levels"

By Chris Brownlee

This scene definitely has an Alpine wintry feel. The village looks like it was carved into a glacier. Is this really foam, or did Chris carve it into a block of ice? "Here are photos of my "mountain". The flash always bleaches out some of the texture. I use lots of "snow" and tiny, natural gravel from the aquarium store around the waterfall and fences. It is still a work-in-progress since I plan to make more hills to elevate some of the houses.
