unforeseen last minute adjustment 😜🥺😥🫩

I had already placed the first black layer on the base and decided to test the slope of the asphalt, but it turned out to be unrealistic, particularly on the curve where I was representing the road.


The unrealistic part was the slope I had intentionally added. I wanted it to look like it was going downhill, but when I placed the car on the asphalt to check the dimensions, I realized that one tire was hanging off the ground by almost 1 cm, which would represent 24 cm in real life.


Anyway, I'm here now, so what can you do? I grabbed a utility knife, peeled off the asphalt, and added some filler to level the road a bit so that all the wheels would touch the asphalt. I know that no car will end up in the final representation, but what I was aiming for was unrealistic, so since I'm still working on this, I have to see how to resolve this situation... and solve the problem. I've already filled it in; now I'll add more filler to cover the gaps... I'll post how it looks later.


I apologize profusely, but I've almost turned this into a real-time update. The thing is, I'm not used to documenting processes. I'm the type who sits down to work and makes a lot of progress, correcting and changing many things and processes along the way, so this is something new for me. And since the idea is to document the entire process and not just the final results, I'm showing you almost live how I'm working, changing, or progressing on the pieces I'm assembling.

      @ejbscaleart fue sencilla de hecho ya la termine. Ajuste todo y pinte. Ya solo me falta unos retoques de empolvado y la base está lista
