UP Elmwood Subdivision - N Scale Layout

4/19/2009

In the midst of prepping to redo my terrain covering with plaster cloth, I decided I wanted to first redo some of the terrain base and fascia. This mainly included making the hill and the end of the lower level flush with the fascia (not just a hill that looks like a bug bump), building up a hill at the first corner, and then making the fascia flow more with the terrain, especially at the river banks.

So first I yanked off the existing fascia.



Then I cut new pieces of masonite there were 7 (short section) and 6 tall (river section), and installed them in place. I also added a piece to the edge of the layout to complete the fascia covering here.



I then rebuilt the hills as I wanted.



And then trimmed the fascia with a Dewalt Cut-out drill to flow with the terrain.



A huge improvement to what it looked like before.
