I'm still in the planning phase of my layout.

I’m a bit past the planning

Did another 20 smaller trees , also included a shot of what I do with the furnace filter that I cut off from shaping the trees , I hairspray over top of it and add flock or whatever to it and pull pieces away to use for underbrush so no waste.

Continuing with photos

Sorry to be late to this party.
Lynnb - after looking closely at photos on post 100?
I immediately took a sledgehammer to my layout!
Just simply fantastic modeling!

Thankyou , you’re too kind.

Sometimes I will just try out a few things to see how I feel about it. I shored up the foam board so it is a solid surface

 

[Lynnb]

So here’s a bit of an update with what I’ve been upto, it’s a fsm Carters Machine Shop. I’m moving along slowly.

Looks very nice mate and up to your normal high standards

 

[Lynnb]

So I messed up a bit and yes it was me and not the product, I decided to pour the water for the canal and I believe I poured it too deep and it didn’t solidify. I know it was mixed right because what I had left in the measuring container I used over another waterfall poured area and it set solid. So I’m going to see if I use some heavy gel medium over the surface if I can at least get a top skin that won’t be sticky. I did one layer and some areas were dry so did another layer . You can see after the first coat how it’s transparent and showing the wood direction dam .

Other than the water Lynn - it does look great

 

[Lynnb]

Eeek Tony I feel like I’ve let you down. I’m not too concerned with it though because where it’s going on the layout it will be difficult to even see the bottom of the canal. Lesson learned though .

 

[wombat457]

Let me down? Hey - just goes to show that your human mate ...

Wait what ??? Lol

With my vision being crap I’m very limited to what I can do without destroying something so I figured I’d do some rough work on the layout and get some structures in place. There’s one thing I’ve learned is you can in fact fill in the holes on an open grid layout and add scenery hills whatever and down the road very easily cut and move scenery for more structures.

 

[wombat457]

Nicely done mate and yep another PLUS for open grid bench work

 

[Lynnb]

Fresh batch of ground goop mixed up.

 

[Rico]

Ground goof?
Did you make a mistake on the goop?

Awesome craftsmanship Lynn!
