ChiloquinRuss posted:For sticking on those plaster castings I use a product called structolite. The problem I always had with hydrocal was how quickly it sets up and I end up throwing away more than I put on the layout! The other thing I really like about structolite is it has some texture to it. The aggregate in the structolite I think is ground walnut shell or something similar. Anyhow it makes the result very light and very strong, sort of like putting straw in the adobe when making bricks! Have a spray water bottle with 'wet' water in it, spritz the plaster wall, the underside of the casting, slather on some structolite on the casting and stick on the layout. Then take a little structolite and force it in around the edges of the casting. The grit in the structolite will give you a great look. BTW it takes paint and scenery stuff really well.

Love the layout and those panels would look much better on my layout!
