You could even poke some steel shapes and timbers in the foam before applying the coat of ballast/plaster. Take care, Rob. Hi Rob, You are thinking along the same lines I am. Build up the base then detail the top layer. I did order a mold to make 1/48 bricks from Germany to add to the detail. I was going to cut blocks of stone from DAS clay as well. I am sure I will be adding details to this 4 feet for the rest of my days.

I will be building mounds from foam and gluing in some foam stones from excess foam core walls. More to follow on that. The structure is 11" x 8".

Country: Canada | Posts: 1213 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/26/2020 :  5:06:06 PM     Thanks Rob, the back drop is motivating me. Here is a test of a brick fence. I see them in a lot of the pictures I have. They are 7 - 10 feet tall.

I think it would make a great transition scene. Country: Canada | Posts: 1213 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/26/2020 :  5:56:23 PM     Looking good Larry. Nice start. With a bombed out war scene, you can never over do the amount of rubble, so really go for it. And good job on the transport cases too.

The materials I am practicing with are really inexpensive so adjustments can be made easily.

Thanks, I had a pack of semi dried out DAS clay that I started to break up into rubble. I will need lots of it for sure. Stay tuned for months of progress on this scene.

Did you notice your Grandt line critter repainted from my previous hippy paint job in the transport case? Country: USA | Posts: 11981 acousticco Fireman Posted - 07/26/2020 :  8:10:32 PM       I did! I was going to ask you about it, it looks great! -Cody Country: Canada | Posts: 1767 Frank Palmer Fireman Posted - 07/27/2020 :  10:06:50 AM       The building and wall look great Larry. Should make a statement scene. Frank Country: USA | Posts: 6164 friscomike Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/27/2020 :  1:44:49 PM       Larry, your amazing work continues. I love seeing what you will come up with next.

Looks like it will work perfectly with the backdrop. Country: USA | Posts: 24522 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/27/2020 :  3:36:02 PM     Wow!!
