Ready for Mud

Panorama of the new terrain by Stares Tunnel
By mud, I mean plaster cloth to cover the terrain and Durhams Water Putty for rock carving.

I used pink foam to create the terrain by Belle Air since it was largely a flat area.  I used hot glue and Liquid Nails Foam Adhesive to secure the foam to the benchwork and backdrop. The Liquid Nails Foam Adhesive needs 24 hours to dry.

Battery Schaefer recycled from previous version of layout
I was able to recycle the Battery Schaefer redoubt from the previous version. It wasn't too difficult to shape the contours to fit.  This will save a fair amount of work in scenicing the area.

    This looks great and you are making a great deal of progress time wise even for you. It was always a bit cramped track wise back in that corner and this new single line through the open country-side on the way to the stairs vignette seems like a winner. Look forward to seeing the scenery evolve over the next few posts.
