all I can say is it is so F-IN easy to do wht did it take me so long to try it

if you don't like the way it turns out you can rip it up and start over

Rick

Thanks for all the kind words

if you think the plaster cloth is easy you should try the foam board I'm doing a mix just because of how I laid the track out and I all ready bought a ton of the plaster cloth

a few things I piked up if you are doing plaster put black paint in the water this way the color will be a gray and not WHITE that will stand out
also with the plaster cloth I put it on dry on one place that I could not reach and then sprayed it with black wash and pushed it onto the wads of paper I let it set and did it again the hole rolling hill part under the grass was done like that and at the end I brushed on some plaster in a light mix of black wash (black wash is water and paint , never use the plaster with out adding color unless you wanted it white because the white pin holes are very hard to hide

everyone
thank you for all your kind words, all I can say is how easy it is to do this scenery work, the foam is just glue, shape, paint,grass and RACE
the plaster stuff from woodland scenes is almost as easy But it is more for the rolling hills look
wade up news paper, tape them, cover with plaster screen, paint, grass and RACE

the paint is light gray primer I used the Wall Mart brand .97 cent a can I did the a big peace at a time, the only thining I should have done at that time was to paint the slots for the lane colors when I had the rails taped off, I was using auto pin striping for the lane markings but it didn't stick good the the primer

Check out the videos on youtube the work on there scenery is off the hook
