Hi A.J. ,

The suggestions about using tape or glues as filler make sense, of course.

However, what I did was to ignore the seams, for the most part.

That is, I crafted all my vignettes and miscellaneous scenery onto baseplates, which provided a saving of time, effort, narratives, details, and expense when I have decided to change a scene by putting it elsewhere or altering it.IMG_3530-b

As I trust you can discern among these examples of my ignoring the seams on a layout, constructing each scene on its own base;IMG_3406 then, filling in groundcover(s) and/or foliage, and neighboring vignettes, when desired and planned, obliterates any seams.IMG_4637 [2)

If a scenery/landscaping effort culminated in a seam still being visible, I have used tape or thick glues, like Liquid Nails or Gorilla Glue, to fill the gaps, which have been rare, and then I have crafted scenery elements over them, creating a seamless expanse...IMG_4308IMG_4914IMG_4659

I have other examples, if you would like to see more.

Frank, please correct me if I'm wrong, but are you essentially saying you filled in the gaps using a Rube Goldberg approach like I did, by covering the gaps with scenery materials?

If so, your Rube Goldberg approach turned out to be much more elegant than mine.

LOL, Arnold
