The Mogollon Railroad

Wayne - that's actually a tool I made for carving the rock walls. It's just a sharpened nail shoved into the end of a tree branch. It actually does not work that well, but for some reason I keep using it.

I've finally got this rock wall mostly done after much pain and effort. It is plaster smoothed over a foam form and then the rock were carved in it. This is actually a bad idea. The plaster did not stick to the foam all that well. and I kept chipping it off as I was trying to carve. Additionally, leaning over the layout to carve the rocks was a pain. In hindsight, I should have just bought rock walls, or cast and carved these things out of solid plaster on the workbench.

I'm mostly happy with the result, though. I really want to get scenery over this last corner of my layout. I need to finally finish up this hotel!
