Scenery

Today I started some light work on a project I have been procrastinating for several years.  The basics of the project started when my friend Jay and I wanted to make a series of videos using stop animation.  Now after six years I have finally started work on it.  The characters I am working on are to made using clay and the scenery for certain scenes will potentially be made with basil wood and the same materials and method that most would use to build an environment for model trains.  Below are a few pictures of the hour or so of work that I've put in so far.  I was just trying to get a feel for somethings as to what measurements etc I would be using, other than that practice makes perfect!

 I decided to make the first room that the first video will go into.
 I figured it would be essential to get a light feel for the room and to see exactly where the figures would be moving through the environment.  Helps to plan out the later scene.
 So this was my first stab at making a pretty basic terrain. 
 I still have A LOT of touch ups to do, but like I said, practice makes perfect!
