The painting of London Travel Marble Run

Oh dear…what have I gotten myself into here? The London Travel Marble Run and I want to make it as ‘true to life’ as possible. I plan to start next on the stone building faux finish I used on my Big Ben and Tower Bridge. This puzzle has more details than any other I’ve done. The Taj Mahal runs a close second, though.

That sounds like such an exciting challenge! :heart_eyes: The faux stone finish are a good touch, so I can’t wait to see how you bring it to life on the London Travel Marble Run. It’s definitely one of the most detailed puzzles, this is going to look incredible!

I’ve recently seen a lot of London Travel coloring works in the FB group, and they’re all very beautiful. I’m really looking forward to your creation—I believe you can outshine them. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
