Bill, your rapid progress on the layout and the frequency of your video uploads astonishes me. I wish I could keep up the kind of pace that you do. Very impressive! Beautiful scenery....Roy

[@modelrailroadadventureswit6347]

Roy thanks! I have an understanding wife so I get plenty of times in the garage 😁

[@exehavenharbour]

Hi Bill, great job with the Rocks, I may practice that technique when I come to them on mine, thanks Bill, John

[@jamesparson]

That is going to be an impressive mountain when it is done.

[@DinsdalePiranha67]

I really like how your rock work turned out - both at the tunnel portals and along the stream bed. This isn't something I'll be doing on my current layout, but this gives me a good idea of what to do if I decide to build something that goes through mountains.

[@modelrailroadadventureswit6347]

Thanks!

[@johnarthur6302]

That looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing how you do it!

[@DruSteel69]

[@DiggerEvans]

[@SantaFeBob]

[@FredE528]

Excellent educational video.👌👌

[@harperlarry49]

Nicely done.

[@sparky107107]

looking very nice. long process doing a layout. but one small section at a time, and thinks move forward.

[@modelrailroadadventureswit6347]

Thanks Sparky. For sure. I like to do little scenes. Get it far along then move to the next and integrate into the whole later

[@steve87thpsap]

Really nice great work with rocks. Looks like your track could have used some tap on them.

[@rdanscale3416]

Bill my Check is in the Mail.. OM Double G that is spectacular I ever get to where I can build a Layout as good as what I see in front of my Eyes I hope I can Hire some Real Model Railroad Artist like yourself to Help me I'd try n' do that and it probably be a pile Goop.. I am so amazed at what talent alot of Model Railroaders have i guess i have some my Track i done up on my D.M.R.R.🛤 is straight where it needs to be and curved and it stay pretty well in place but in building up Structures I just didn't do much and living in Apt. I've kept it Simple so if me and folks could move there wouldn't be to much to tear down or take apart but if i ever get to a place where I know I've got the Room & some good ventilation and I know I won't be moving Soon.! I may have to call on ya to Give me Hand..

[@KerleyExpress]

wow you sure made that look like its easy to do lol looks great tho

[@1babysag]

Fantastic work. I haven’t heard the term “plaster of paris” in a long time. How is it better for you than Sculptamold? Why not just use acrylic paint rather than stain? The ventilation would be a problem for me. What makes wood stain better than simple paint?

[@modelrailroadadventureswit6347]

Hi Frank. I use both. Sculptamold as a base to give shape and then thick plaster that I can carve. I get better final look Off plaster and the sculptamold will be mostly under ground cover. For the stain ventilation is a must. I can open the garage doors when I work to keep the odor down. I would not do it inside unless I could open a lot of windows and have fans running

[@allenbarnes7202]

What do you do with the chunks that fall off? I use them for areas that have fallen rock . I do not use plaster, or skulptamold for scenery. Just carved foam

[@bfurailroad1104]

@David curtis Oh yes, Vinyl spackle and rough cut sawdust! Only costs pennies!

[@modelrailroadadventureswit6347]

Hi Allen. I use most chunks that fall off. I’ll color match and use at the base of the cliffs

[@GlenironPa]

Plaster or joint compound?

[@modelrailroadadventureswit6347]

Sap plaster of Paris. Comes in the milk carton style package. Non shrinking so no cracking and it mixes easy 👍🏼
