@chris a posted:Several years ago, I discovered a very different method on YouTube. Ended up ad libbing and adding expanding spray foam to the mix. I was so happy with the results, I made some "How To" videos and put them up on YouTube.
I'd recommend you go check this OGR thread from 2017/2018. It's only 2 pages long total and there's links to the "how to videos" which are still up on Youtube. I never make my rolling hills/mountain scenery any other way. But everyone has their own preferences.

The photos are typical of the results you can expect to achieve.
Chris, thanks for putting that thread together and for sharing it here. My wife is a quilter so I believe I have materials on hand to do some experimenting with this method. I'll most likely need to use different sub-structure materials for different parts of my layout beyond just card board lattice. The expanding foam could be the ticket in a certain corner I have in mind where I'll need a sizeable hillside. The batting should cover anything that will take glue.
@John H posted:I highly recommend Fusion Fiber, especially if you are worried about weight. It can be colored, shaped, reused if wet again, and needs no separate glue for ground cover. It also works with static grass quite well. I have used it over cardboard, rigid foam, wood, ceiling tile, and plaster cloth. It also helps deaden sound near track.
Thanks! Interesting stuff I'd had not heard of before. Still researching this.
