What is the stone facing made of? Is it commercially available or did you do all the art work on it yourself?

Thanks, Paul. I am using 1/8" pink foam that is used to insulate under metal siding. I carve the stone patterns on it and then am gluing it to a Masonite form. There are more pictures of the construction process on the thread on the Scenery & Buildings topic.

The curves are O90 and O81 and are 4 1/2" apart. I was wanting to make a bridge at this end of the layout that would create a "wow effect" and I think it will do that.

Thanks again, Art
