A helicopter news crew (probably from the South Jackson Gazette) heard about the photo shoot and zoomed over to see what was going on. Imagine their consternation when the discovered some of the beautiful new scenery was a FAKE!

This picture shows how I arranged a little benchwork extension (pink foam insulation) to carry a few extra trees, a distant-hill-backdrop (painted on 1/4" masonite) and the sky backdrop (4x8 sheet of plywood with sky and steaky clouds).

The site of the Bear Creek Elevator isn't finished yet. To the far right you can see the Mill City benchwork (above) and Salem staging (below).
