LIRR Steamer posted:with all the great work going on here in this thread, its inspiring to keep at it. So back up to the layout room this morning for another turn at the plaster cloth. The area we are working on is on the left side of the water feature and the terrain should slope to the water . There are track bridges at three levels.
I used a combination of solid white foam pieces, some pieces on a slope and newspaper to stuff the openings and help with the slope. The confined area made it a bit difficult to work with the wet cloth. I found out that you could also wet the area and then apply the cloth as it would absorb the moisture. A paper towel with some moisture in can also aid wetting the cloth in theses area.
I was liking the ideas that Bob RSJB18 had with using printed materials. I had a similar application for the Bridge supports on my water feature area . So managed to print some stone and apply it to the 1 by 4s that were the bridge supports before today.
The scene is coming together now. These two photis step back and give the overall effect
Very nice and the print is very convincing good job
