Spent Friday evening and Saturday putting the foam sheeting on the HCD panels. I picked up two 4' x 8' x 3/4" sheets of Dow blue foam and a couple tubes of foam adhesive for the job. I'm using 3/4" thick foam mainly because its about all you can get in this part of the country without a special order. Plus, the layout is relatively flat and if need be, I can always use an added layer or two of foam to build ground contours.
Apply foam adhesive to the HCD panel...

A little more trimming, fitting, and filling and that'll just about wrap up the benchwork. Next I'll be painting the backdrop. With that, I should be ready to start some track work in the next couple of weeks . The track plan is coming along and should be up soon.
As always, your comments, critique, and feedback are appreciated!
