The Koi ponds are incredible!

Thanks for the comments.

I’m installing the new temple on the layout and will finalize scenery to integrate it in.  Stay tuned.

What I imagined is starting to come more into focus.

Religious Pilgrims and tourists enjoy the beauty and serenity of the Temple.

Both your modeling and your photography are really comming together. 

 

The last two photos are exceptional.

 

Great work, keep it up 😊

You've got some very impressive rock there. And the koi pond's water ended up in a much better colour.

[GregT]

I’ve begun building up the scenery base around the temple and I’m now turning my sights to the central area of the layout that will include the station and small village. Construction photos have their own purpose as I will spend a considerable amount of time looking at them and determining my next steps and evaluating the effectiveness of the effort.

Scenery continues at a slow pace.

Had to laugh, your slow pace is lightening to many of us! Looking great!

@GregT That first photo shows how nicely you have nestled the monastry into the sceanary. Maybe a couple of BIG old cryptomeria japonica behind to it to give it a statly air and separate it from the railway tracks ? By frameing it the eye would be drawn in better.

 

As always, great modeling. Keep it up

I've got the same temple models in my layout, but I have to say that you have done a much better job of working them into your scenery than I have.  Very nicely done.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I've been contemplating how to create that separation.  I was thinking about a wall, but I'm going to look into cryptomeria japonica.  I have no clue what that is.  LOL!
