Trains N Scale
How to landscape for their trains or disposition scale. - Update shoestring
Another train or upgrade tape Shoe landscape scale model of the composition.
First start by defining the who want all the mountain to go then build a wall of cardboard all around the place want to hills to meet the floor. You can do this with ordinary cardboard. Make a strip about two inches thick, then fold a flap than a third of the width of sticking to the floor. You will need to cut the flap for its strip of cardboard can be bent around corners.
Next, you need paper! I told you this would be done on a shoestring ... then get the paper and screw up in balls the size for fill the palm.
Make sure the smooth bit up, but this is important only for the ones at the top. Leaving the little scruffy at the bottom and the stack to the desired height.
The great thing about this technique is that its so easy to fashion. Even after the newspaper may have accumulated follow simply push down on the whole lot to adjust the hill, which requires only a little compression.
Then once you have created the mounds you may want to check to see if any of the hills / landscape has obvious holes or depressions in them, if so just fill with paper and a little insurance each mound with tape or dip the balls in some PVA and water if they already have out of this procedure.
Now you need a web cast and a bowl water. plaster cloth can be purchased at most hobby stores.
However you can use a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol and water (1PVA: 4water) with paper towels or anything else that is strong and absorbent. As you can use time and again pva is a good idea to get a bottle soon to start instead of following buying small bottles designed for crafts.
Wet plaster cloth in water and then place it over the hills in the desired manner.
Once this has dried you can start painting. You can use liquid paint, if you like, but I think they are doing the hard work for you and losing many effects that can be used to spray. The other advantage, of course, is that you can simply spray on the mistakes they make!
That's it! Now has some hills and valleys ready for the foliage.
Happy Railroading
