Great fun!
My mountain is barren and I was worried about that especially when you see Bob Bartezik's foliage covered Central PA mountains. Then I started watching a lot of British crime dramas, two in particular, "Hamish McBeth" which takes place in a place way up in Northern Scotland, and "Vera" which takes place in Newcastle in Norththumberland. All the mountains around there look just like mine. Either they're like that because they just are, or they were deforested eons ago when the English took all the wood for building ships. Regardless, my mountain looks like a perfectly prototypical Scottish Highlands mount. Two tracks penetrate. I scratch-built the portals since my equipment size and curves through them required custom sizes. There is a spring emanating from the mountain leading to a waterfall and then a reservoir in an abandoned quarry. It has a couple of Masonite profiles formers, tons of hot-glued cardboard strips, covered with Gypsolite-soaked Bounty paper towels. Rock molds were from Bragdon. The mountain's big and would be a lot of work and $$$ to cover it with trees.
