Part 3, The First 2 weeks of Scale Model Building

As a kid, I had a HUGE train set... but, I do not have that kind of space any more. Follow along, as I build an HO Scale Model Train, in my tiny office.

Today, Tackling The Mountain Pass!

OK, admittedly, I MAY have mentioned one word, over and over. I mean, I tried not to pass it by, but you know, sometimes, in passing a word will pass your lips, and these things happen.

From the early design phase, in RailModeller Pro software, to basic benchwork, to building the foam scenery and today, to layering down plastercloth, for a hard shell mountain. Follow along as I take you through the Moutain Pass

Stay Tuned... more posts will follow, with updates and progress to come...

hehehehe i love this!!!! i'm so glad that you put this to video!!! its so much more fun to track along with you hehehehehe

i can't wait to watch this get built G!!!

hehehehe i just finished the video - and you are having WAY TOO MUCH FUN hahahahahahahahahaha

that plaster paper is THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!!

my gosh - if I had known about that stuff - I would have had a GREAT time with crafts with the kids when they were younger! LOL

i think it's new thing, about 3 years old? The company is called Woodland Scenics, and they make cool stuff for modellers. Their main focus is trains and diorama people. So many cool things... you'll see more, as I keep going.

I have some molds for making rock walls. They also have stuff for making trees, grasses, bushes, dirt, and the most amazing stuff for making waterfalls, lakes and rivers.

its so super cool!!!!! i can't wait to see the waterfall! that's gonna be my favorite part hehehehee

it will be interesting to see how it comes out. First, I will do the lake bed, and lake water. Then, I will tackle the river parts, and finally, once I am confident in using the water effects, I will tackle the falls!
