Viperman's HO layout progress

Looking good, Steven! Just remember to add more foam than you think you'll need. You're going to carve away anything that doesn't look like a hill so you've got to begin with more than the hill itself. Nice Idea with the screen on the road. A long while back I used muslin cheese cloth to provide a place for plaster to grab over foam because the plaster would set then chip off without adhering to the foam itself. After I hot-glued the cheese cloth in place and added the plaster, well, it still chipped off, just in one great chunk held together by the cloth! Since then I have gone to using joint compound which seems to be stickier than plaster.
