Room Progress

I waited almost 20 minutes at Walmart just to get two quarts of paint! Arg! I told the guy to mix the cheapest, flat quarts he could, but he ended up having to mix one of one brand and one of another because the two different greens looked the same when they came out. I told him just to match the paint brand to the chip I had, so one quart cost me about $8.00 and the other was $12.00. Yeesh! So here is the rest of the "taping" and the start of the painting.

 

Wall #3 is taped-off with floating boxes, a question block, and the ability for Mario to jump over the door.

Wall #1's bushes, painted light green. This is clearly only a first coat, because the paint is being obstinant with its coverage. Also new on this wall is the question block that will allow Mario to gain his growing mushroom.

Wall #2's "forest" of bushes and the warp pipe painted green. Hopefully this crap looks cooler when I get the details done. The warp pipe will likely have a piranha flower coming out of it.

Wall #4 is currently just a warp pipe. It may have been funny to put a warp pipe coming down from the vent, but eh, best laid plans. Three coins will form a "triangle" of sorts on top of the pipe and if Mario does climb the door frame on wall #3, then I'll have to have a way for him to get down without the GIANT leap of faith.
