In this episode I continue with the valley construction on my model railway. I use tree bark to make realistic looking rocks. I use plaster bandage for the first time and I make my own sculptamould from filler, glue and paper. Thanks for the tips from David see #3 Layout Update - Building The Viaduct Scene

Hey Mark. This was a thoroughly enjoyable episode 😊 really liked seeing it all come together in process, can’t believe how well that bark turned out. And I must say, the plaster you made using paper was genius. Some top tips here I will definitely be implementing into my own layout. Well done, it is looking amazing 🤩
Can’t wait for the next one,
All the best

Well what a brilliant idea using bark! It certainly looks the part and its something I will bear in mind when I do my castle hill - it will be interesting to see how it looks with paint and foliage on it as well. I do like the idea of making your own moulding paste as well but to be honest I am probably to lazy and too afraid of my wifes reaction when I nick the blender. I've got some left over from the original build so will probably use that but I do use paper and glue to fill in and I find that really good even though it takes a while to dry. Thanks for showing us the update - the bark idea I will definitely try out.
