Now in COLOR!
I had a few minutes tonight to try some coloring and basic ground cover (i.e. DIRT!) I only had enough Scupltamold to finish one side's landform. I used diluted acrylic paint (brown and burnt umber), and used mostly Scenic Express dirt, since I had a bottle of it on hand.

And a perspective shot with some trees. I'm kinda on the fence if I need to add more bushes...but will probably hold off for now...I'd like to get the remaining half of this side of the layout started. I also included the divider/backdrop (which I made removable, so I can take photos in the daylight Thoughts?

Leave it! It looks great, but depending on the area you like or are modeling, say Eastern Montana, this is just enough cause it's dry alot.
Looks good to me!

Was able to get some more scenery done. After doing some research on BNSF's Phoenix Sub, I need more 'airy' vegetation...so I'm on the lookout for that. All in all, though, I'm fairly happy.

Thanks, I had to let sit for a while in May/June, but with REALLY hot weather setting in, I'm planning on getting back to it. Plus...my order of Sculptamold and tree-making supplies came in so I should be all set! Stay tuned for updates!
