Gary S Wrote:Charlie, I need to be doing that too, concentrating on getting my terrain carved into the foam and painted. That way, when I do start putting detailed stuff onto the layout in earnest, I won't have to worry about those pesky little blue foam shavings clinging to all the details.
Still, this is one of those hobbies where interest in the various aspects comes and goes, so I guess it is prudent to work on the things that you feel like working on at the moment. Maybe this weekend I will get back to the foam sculpting.
Gary start with a section of the layout and do all of the foam carving, Then you can work on doing the detail work on that section as the mood strikes. You can also go on to carve the next section. That way you will never need to worry about the blue shavings sticking to details, but at the same time you don't need to carve 50 feet of layout before you can go on to other things.
