I have been on a bit of a binge gluing and stapling strips together into a web defining my vision of the Sierra Lumber Company terrain. I had some false starts and some do-overs in the course of the last week but I feel pretty good about the new terrain forms in the vicinity of Camp One.

Designing a realistic trestle to fit around the corner is going to be a challenge.

Above is a shot from the Camp One side of the peninsula. I have started using a tripod and aperture priority shutter setting combined with a 2 second delay to try and take better pictures with my digital camera. Unfortunately the lighting in this area of the layout does not help out much.

I am awaiting a recent order from Micro-Mark as I ordered two of their rubber plaster mixing bowls that I plan on using to mix plaster for the rock work. Also in the mail is some Sculptamold that I ordered from Amazon. The Sculptamold will be used as a finish coat over the plaster cloth to smooth the terrain. Now if this snow would just melt I could get up to the mountains and find some perfect decomposed granite.

I have already received some new latex rock molds from Bragdon Enterprises and they are standing by awaiting their opportunity to mold. I have had good luck with his products in the past and order an entire new set for this layout. I now have 7 of his molds and they are all amazing. They are in a completely different league than the typical hobby store brand.

This post is a follow up to an earlier post about construction of my cardboard strip and plaster cloth scenery.   Make sure to read the earlier post called Cardboard Strip and Plaster Cloth Scenery.
