Removable Micro hill for a micro layout - Biased turkey - 01-01-2009 I wanted to end the "CP/CN" (Canadian Pacific /Canadien National ) interchange lol on my ( 23" by 11" ) N scale micro layout with a small hill and a tunnel. I built the microhill using slices of pink extruded styrene glued together with latex caulking. I covered the hill with a thin coat of hydrocal My 1st intention was to add some small rock casting, but the hill is so small that they would look out of proportion, then I decided to just paint some rough hydrocal spots to simulate the rocks. I used Woodland Scenics slate gray wash for simulating rocks I then painted the hill with some latex tan color and added the ground cover. This is the result: rear, bottom front and overall view Jacques Re: Removable Micro hill for a micro layout - Trucklover - 01-01-2009 Your tight Jacques, that is a very small hill lol, but you did a great job on it, i like the weathering on the tunnel portal Re: Removable Micro hill for a micro layout - Steve - 01-01-2009 Jacques... You made the right call! The "painted rocks" look perfectly natural and in proportion. Excellent job on everything Re: Removable Micro hill for a micro layout - LynnB - 01-02-2009 Good idea for quick tunnel access when the never going to happen de-rail happens.
