I covered the track with masking tape as I was applying plaster over the cardboard web I used to form the terrain on the layout. The plaster is finished and several coats of tan latex paint have been applied.
Masonite facing is in place.
Jan 2000 - Ground cover and brush applied to the upper portions of the hills. Sept 2000 - The ground cover and trees are complete on this portion of the layout. The low lying area is a swamp complete with tall reeds and mud. July 1999 - This is the South East corner of the layout and you can see the cardboard web and plaster covering it. The foam core sheet in the right of the picture is the yard and future engine shed area.
