After taking a break and building some structures, I thought it would be best to start some scenery work in the harder to reach places.
Particularly the one corner where I can still reach in to the track, but not the very corner. This area will have a mountainside in it so I stacked up some foam and glued it in place with carpenters glue.
Then I used a Woodland Scenics hot wire foam cutter to trim it to what I wanted. The wire cutter can only take a bit off at a time since it's wire is only 5" wide.
And it's ready for plaster cloth or plaster soaked paper towel. it would be nice to plaster cloth all of the scenery but that could get expensive.
While I was at it, I also added the slope between the branchline and the yard. I'm leaving space below for a roadway that will go to the future sawmill complex and oil dealer.
