Just a quick post to show progress being made.  Mostly just been applying Sculpt-a-mold to the foam hillsides when I have some free time.

Today I started working on an idea I had to filling in the empty space on the river side of the layout.  I thought I might be able to reuse my old Rubber Rocks I had from the old layout.

First I cut out a piece of foam board to fit the open space.

Since the original Rubber Rocks were shorter than what I needed, I had to cut ‘em up and rearrange them like a puzzle to fill in the space.

I glued the molds to the foam using Liquid Nails for foamboard, and then placed in on the layout for the initial “How does it look” test.

The next step will be to secure the piece to the backdrop permanently, fill in the gaps with Sculpt-a-Mold, and paint.

Today I got the plaster cloth down on the banks of the river.  Just need to finish up the interior of the last tunnel, glue down the foam hills to the layout, and then it’ll be time for some Sculpt-a-mold.

Still debating on how I want to tackle the area behind the bridge and hide that one support post.

Just a quick post about this weekends progress:

1) Tunnels portals #1 and #2 are for the most part done. Just need to paint #2.

2) Got the framing in place for the river banks. Need to pick up a new roll of masking tape to finish it off.

3) Trimmed the fascia on the Marigny side down to profile.
