A hill for the "F" Gauge 1:20.3 Large Scale Railroad.
I needed a bit of scenery to break up one side of my layout, and also support the necessary fundamental items for the second level. Most notably a coal bunker and a water tower for the Climax Steam engine.
I decided to make the 2 hills separate and different. In this picture you can see that I made them out of layers of the 1" Pink insulation. After deciding on an approximate area that I wanted too fill, I created a template by trimming strips of he insulation and shaping it to the contours I wanted. The bottom layer of each hill IS the template.
