Mark, you are too kind. The Van Gogh on Saturday afternoon was a mob scene. It was so crowded that there were times when there were 10 people between me and the paintings. It actually spoiled the fun. When I've been to these kinds of exhibits before they limited the amount of people in the gallery by selling tickets for specific times and controlling entry closely. In this case, it was a free for all. Even the Driehaus Museum on Friday was crowded, although not at the Van Gogh level, since they had a Downton Abby costume exhibit intertwined in all the rooms. Having it so cold in April didn't help. Everyone wanted to be indoors.
I'm going to play around with the portal design some more before gluing anything down. I'm also going to back them up with some heavier wood stock to provide a firm surface to fasten the terrain support to the portals. I want them to be "in-grown" into the mountain, not just pushed up to it. Today's an exercise day so work will start later. I already lost 1 pound of the 4 that I gained. Only 3 more to go until I'm back where I started last Thursday. It's a real pain in the butt.
