Following on from yesterdays post were we fitted the foam its time to add the next layer which will smooth the land forms. You know making the whole thing look less foamy and more erm Wisconsin. Anyway lets start with a prototype picture.

The prototype photo from above makes all this look flat but we know its not. the track on the left being higher than that on the right.

So here we go, as usual I was catching up with the Aussie NMRAx team whilst doing this and Annabel wanted to lend a hand. Unfortunatley they don’t make toddler sized gloves so we had to make do with a daddy sized one.

Mixing the sculptamold is pretty simple its about a 1:1 mix of compound and water. You want to add more of one or the other until you have a mixture thats the consistency of cottage cheese.

You have to mix it for about 3/4 minutes to make sure the water is absorbed into all the dry compound. Tomorrow we’ll start getting this onto the layout.
