Thanks for the thoughts about my mother in law. We had a very special Christmas Eve gathering last night, 28 people crowded into our kitchen/living room. All our family, and several friends who changed their plans to be here. Although the topic of her cancer was never brought up, the special attention she received showed the love and affection she has earned over the years.
Kurt, my ground cover is mostly dirt from the backyard. I also use infield clay from the nearby school field. Getting dirt from other areas, particularly dirt from the area you model, is great too. However, once you glue down the dirt it is always darker than it was before, so it is a good idea to find a lighter colored dirt if possible. The balance of my ground cover is just Woodland Scenics foam, used rather sparingly, and in as many shades as possible.
And, I got the station! I feel like my battery has been recharged and I should find time over the weekend to start on it.
It is Christmas morning, have a good one everybody!
