Here are some shots of the demo board.

The Next Three Panels In.

Ok so I am starting my next three panels after having to repair them when I got home.  The glue wasn't sticking so I got out some screws and ran them in at angles and fixed that problem.  Anyways, the three flat panels are the last of the 12, they are just going to be flat so I gesso textured them and set them to dry.  It's coming together nicely.

Fumes everywhere!!!!

OK the silicone I used for the water effects was the most toxic stuff I have had the pleasure of dealing with... I put on TWO masks to block out what I could and worked fast with my fan on and windows open in my workshop... wow is all I can say.  A little dry brushing on the sand, and I should be ready for the next couple panels.
