Hi Guys and gals
During the week, I managed to get some Woodland Scenics plaster cloth put down on my Styrofoam structure work on the layout. The end result is a rigid ,lightweight base for scenic paint and details.
To start off, I managed to find a pair of pplastic bowls with lids to hold the water used to wet the cloth. These were at the Harris Teeter market for about 7 bucks for the pair. Having the lid makes it easier to handle the ised water for dispoasal outdoors without spills on the floor.
The paper towels are handy for absorbing excess water which puddles on the table. Heres the cloth and a old pair of scissors used to cut the cloth. When cutting the cloth , choose sizes that you can handle and control easily when the cloth is wet. Too large and the pieces get unwieldy and become a mess.
Here is some of the work to cover the tunnel portal and some vertical walls I have between levels. The Tunnel Portal
And here is some work on the vertical walls.
So that's it for now. Plan to get bck to it and do some more during the week. One last point, its always a good idea to clean up when you finish one of these sessions. It can get kind of messy . and don't forget to cover the tracks.
