More work on the Left of the Bridge Project...

Getting ready first thing this morning to cut the patterns.

After cutting the patterns I'm ready to cut out the "asphalt".

Drone view of the long & winding road overlayed
with sheets I will use as the patterns for the "asphalt" layer.

My work area.

Time to cut out the "asphalt" using the paper patterns.

Ready to glue the first section after the incline.

Done for the morning.
Hopefully I will return this afternoon.

I'm back!
After cutting out all the "asphalt" I'm ready to glue them down.

There you go.
All finished!

My work area just got a little "busier".

The long and winding road from a distance.

That part took about 20 minutes.
