Imatges de la muntanya amb el castell. Sembla el castell de Burriac, si no fos perque el meu te la torre de l’homenatge de planta quadrada.

La tècnica per modelar la muntanya es usant suro d’alzina surera per imitar les roques i malla metàl.lica recoberta amb benes de guix i pasta de paper. Tot pintat amb colors de terra i grisos per les roques. Falta posar capes de flocat de diferents verds i els arbres.

El castell cal envellir amb un gris mès clar, per integra-lo perfectament en el paissatge.

De la Wikipedia:

The Gare Montparnasse became famous for the derailment on 22 October 1895 of the Granville–Paris Express, which overran the buffer stop. The engine careened across almost 30 metres (100 ft) of the station concourse, crashed through a 60-centimetre (2 ft) thick wall, shot across a terrace and smashed out of the station, plummeting onto the Place de Rennes 10 metres (33 ft) below, where it stood on its nose. Two of the 131 passengers sustained injuries, along with the fireman and two conductors. The only fatality was a woman on the street below who was killed by falling masonry. The accident was caused by a faulty Westinghouse brake and the engine driver, who was trying to make up lost time. A conductor was given a 25-franc fine and the engine driver a 50-franc fine.
