I never could find a white Sharpie©, so I'll leave the railings as they are.

I didn't get much done on the Toll Plaza today, however, I did repaint the flags on the Ticket Booths because they were too dark.

This is what I achieved today. Just added the planters and that's all.

Tomorrow, I'll add the black lamps on top of the poles, then I can move on to the next building: the Admission Services Building. However, next week I plan to start on the base of the entire model so I can send the dimensions as soon as possible.

I'll have the construction video uploaded later this evening (or tonight, however long it takes to upload). This video will be the same format as this one of the Ticket Booths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzOzfK33uRQ&list=PL7qq0YAw_AJbt6PQU4EkVJunhlRcIfESc&index=2

Here's the Toll Plaza Construction video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-1il-g2qLw

I have already begun work on the Admission Services Building. I don't think that it will take me very long to complete it. But I've been wrong before.

That video just shows how much detail goes into your work. How long did you work on these each night?

this is pretty amazing. And I am sure it may be something carowinds would display for you. possibly in Harmony Hall. When you all said and done. You should look into that.

^^Yes, the park wants to put it on display. During the giveaways at the WWU, Mike, Steve, John, their head engineer, and I took time to look at my sketches (including the large one) and we tried to find a place to put it. Mike wants to put it where a lot of people can see it and he's thinking that foyer area right as you come in the main doors to Harmony Hall.

Oh, and I manage to get between 5 to 7 hours of sleep a night. That's horrible I know, but it is what it is.
