Yesterday we got as far as adding the sculptamold and turning blue foam into lanscape. We even managed to get the subroad bed down. Great Eh! well yeah but it still looks like blue foam and dry plaster so we need to do something about it.

No matter what scenery you do above the base everything needs to be painted an earth colour first. And I mean everything. This is really important because you don’t want to see blue if some scenery material becomes dislodged. My scene will be snow so thats all thats really going over this base layer except some places where the snow has melted to reveal the ballast.

Everything here is getting a few coats of burnt umber acrylic paint. Its just some stuff from an art store nothing fancy and slapped on with a foam brush. I had to stipple it into a few stubborn places where the brush missed.

I can still turn the module round so doing the rear side was a breeze. I am actually really glad I decided to do this before fixing everything down.

Back around the correct way again. You can see I have even started on the next module so I didn’t waste any sculptamold that was already mixed.

Ah so whats next well track I guess thats scary! but best get to it everthing needs to be down before I can apply the snow & get the trees in place.

Till tomorrow!
