QUOTE: Originally posted by dougdagrump Jim, The aluminum foil idea sounds interesting. When I was at Value craft yesterday they carry a line of spray paint that is textured to look like granite, sandstone and I believe slate. What kind of primer would you use on tin foil? The layout will only be up thru the end of January, at the most, so I don't want to invest to much time and money. Recycling the halloween layout. [:D] Does that mean I should be running the "Naughty & Nice Hoppers" [?]

QUOTE: Originally posted by Allan Miller I experimented with a couple of cans of expanding foam insulation on a large mountain I built for an earlier On30 layout. My observation: The stuff is very difficult to control in terms of where it goes and how it acts. It takes a while to harden, but once it does harden it can be carved. It tends to take the shape of giant piles of doggie doo-doo, so the foam itself is not enough--you need to cover it with a final surface layer of plaster or some other material (I use Sculptamold) to fill in the numersous gaps that will remain after you carve the stuff to shape. Finally, while it's still in its semi-rigid form, do not let it get on anything that you want to keep and/or use again. It's virtually impossible to remove or clean up.

I don't think it can be used in the way you are thinking of. It expands fast, It is very sticky and hardens very quickly. It is also a bear to clean off of tools. ...................
