Very ingenious! I think most of us would be scared to get the plaster anywhere close to a turnout. But you've obviously done enough plaster work to know what you can do with it. That's a good lesson for the rest of us... repeated use and practice with any hobby medium will increase skill and confidence. Before ya know it, you're an "old hand" at it.

I tell you, I was a little nervous before pouring plaster all over the turnout, but I told myself that after taking these precautions it would turn out well … but if you think I have repeatedly used plaster so that I knew what I could do with it, you are totally wrong . In the past I avoided working with plaster whenever I could – kind of hate that stuff. I prefer to work with "clean" materials like cardboard and styrene. I am just the kind of guy who likes to try out new things and jumps right in.
