the green will end up as grass & the black will be roads or mill yards
the wood unpainted around the mills will be cobbled

the paper was dry so I made a start on the plaster

mixed with PVA & assorted Colours plus a small amount of water

& ones mixed I get a grey plaster

which I then paint on to the polystyrene rock face

I also painted the plaster over the paper

Thats really effective Brian. What plaster/powder are you using as a base mix? and are you getting any problems with shrinkage as it dries?

Hi Shaun
the plaster is a home brand plaster filler (like polyfiller) this time its from wicks

as to shrinkage in the past I have not had any but as I use PVA glue in stead of water only using a very small amount of water at the end of the mixing to get to spread
I find the PVA lets the plaster have a bit of flex

That's a nice rock face there, Brian. At first I thought that that was filler you'd spread all over the track, but I think I can see now that it was probably masking tape...!

I have now fitted the printed backscene But it may be that I have a curved backscene but I do not like the id Premium backscene with it sticky back
I ended up with crinkles on one board

There is 2 post as there are lots of photos
