Ah! I see what you did and why you did it. Smart, you are.

I built a box for the light wiring, by 'squaring off' the corner that can't be seen from the normal viewing angle with another piece of 1/4" wood angle. The round hole in the center along the ridgeline is for the smoke vent.

Sculptamold has a long working time, but once that's done, it's set. So I have to remember to go back after about 30 minutes to 'water' and smooth out the Sculptamold. Before then, it's too wet to work. (The farmers/gardeners out there know what it's like trying to work soil that is too wet.)quote:

Dave,
Do you have to water? And what type of soil do you use?

Fortunately, once it's set, you don't need to fertilize. Just add paint, dirt, glue and vegetation :-) I did that to one small area over the weekend, and then went back and extended that area with more Sculptamold. Pictures maybe later today.

Turntable is from Kitwood Hills. It's a great model, it goes together well and has a good power transmission mechanism. The problem is that Simon does these in 'batches' and you have to get an order in when he has this particular model available. (http://www.kitwoodhillsmodels.com )

Nice looking Dave.
Is that turn table a kit or scratch built? Looks great.

Work-in-progress, "planting" the switcher shed. If the Sculptamold is dry/cured, I'll paint and apply some dirt.

Shingles and smokestack. Roof is still removable, I'll add lighting. Plus both roof and walls, particularly the front, need weathering. The ground is done, I filled in with ballast and then a layer of fine dirt, and then applied Deluxe Materials liquid ballast cement. That works great for this kind of application.
