Three Foot Rule In Effect At All Times

Well I thought I posted this last night, I guess I only hit preview not submit.
Sunday was a fairly productive day. Made the base forms for the next section of scenery. [albumimg]2317[/albumimg] Now with the last section of scenery I did, I used Scenic Express plaster cloth. Was the first time I had tried this type of product as I tend to use some of the older techniques I was taught growing up. Mainly strips of newspaper dipped in plaster. I thought it went well, For this section though I used the WS plaster cloth and wow what a difference. Much better coverage and quality. And its a dollar less than the scenic express cloth. [albumimg]2318[/albumimg] Now onto placing the rock castings. I did also manage to get 2 kits painted with primer as well.

Well It's been a long time since I updated this thread... Hope everyones summer was well.
I did get a few things done over the summer, One loop of the mainline is completed and running. Worked on a few kits as well, pictures to follow in a few days. Tonights adventure after cleaning a few dust bunnies off the layout was the backdrop. It started with the removal off the trees from the hillside( A 4 legged furball helped do this over the summer too!!!) And we get the following. Then an hour or so later Tomorrow I will start to define the edges a little more. Need some more supplies first though.

That's really looking good! I like the transition from the scenery to the painted hills too.

And some clouds. Looks a little distorted in the picture due to the curve in the backdrop here.
