Reply to "Rock Molds-I don't get it."

I used 5-6 molds to re-create the Maryland Heights cliff above Harpers Ferry WVA on my old layout.   I had lots of pictures of actual site to reference and I think it came out pretty good.   I started with a base mountain of chunks of leftover packaging styrofoam that I stuck together with Greatstuff foam insulation.  Next I draped the surface with paper towels dipped in plaster.  Next I plastered on the rock molds and filled in gaps using the Battista method (check out his first Black Diamond Railway video).  The plaster rock also takes coloring very well and I was able to match the rock color with the backdrops I printed from my photos.  I also used masonite to create a thin relief rock wall made up of broken ceiling tiles, rock molds, and glued on greenery.   Was well worth the effort.
