During my previous runs at building up the scenery base, I have used the woodland scenics plaster cloth over cardboard strips and/or screen... I cringe at the thought of actually paying for that plaster cloth, it is so darn expensive!
My question is to any of you plaster gurus out there: what are my alternatives? I have read about dipping paper towers into plaster, but I have never read what the magic is, i.e. plaster consistency (proper mix of water to plaster) and what types of paper towels work best? It sounds like this would be a much more cost effective way to build up the layout.
Any other plaster tips and tricks would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
