Thanks
I completed the hardshell and rockwork to the point of adding color last night.
I first added the hillside above the track, around the corner

I used that nice rock casting on the corner and build the hillside around it.

Then I added a few more rocks to the slopes and blended it all in with some plaster. I also gave all the hardshell a coat of carving plaster to cover the plaster cloth texture.

Next is some rock staining/coloring. I got the Woodland Scenics earth color kit and am doing some research on colors. Hopefully I'll be on that part of the project shortly
