Winter is coming to Clovis Point

Clovis Point started out as a vacation spot for summer fun. It has now changed to a winter scene because I have winter people and trees. I removed the scenery from the layout and started adding paper to fill the void in the landscape. The Hydrocal was placed over the paper and let to harden up. The next day I went over with a thin layer of Hydrocal to stiffen up the ground and fill in the holes. The third day was spent placing the station. I put a skier on the hill. This is the start of Winter in Cloivis Point.
