In the midst of prepping to redo my terrain covering with plaster cloth, I decided I wanted to first redo some of the terrain base and fascia. This mainly included making the hill at the end of the lower level flush with the fascia (not just a hill that looks like a big bump), building up a hill at the first corner, and then making the fascia flow more with the terrain, especially at the river banks.

So first I yanked off the existing fascia.

Then I cut new pieces of masonite there were 7″ (short section) and 6″ tall (river section), and installed them in place.  I also added a piece to the edge of the layout to complete the fascia covering here.

I then rebuilt the hills as I wanted.

And then trimmed the fascia with a Dewalt Cut-out drill to “flow” with the terrain.

A huge improvement to what it looked like before.
