Model Railroading
Construction 10: Plastering
|
Here is the small mountain almost completed.
|
This is the start on the large mountain. the first form from Styrofoam didn't
work too well so we decided to redo it with wood lathe & wire.
|
|
The wire that we used is standard 12ga copper wire . This was left over
from a household wiring project.
|
We laid fiberglass mesh over the form to hold the plaster.
|
This is a look inside the mountain.

|
The completed form, ready for plaster.
|
|
In case you are wondering, I'm sprinkling plaster on the mountain to give
it a thicker coat, then we sprayed it down with water to get it to set.
|
Almost done. Just need to cut the tunnel openings and finish one edge.
|
|
This is the half of the layout that we have been working on.
