Modeling the Baltimore waterfront in HO scale
QUOTE: Originally posted by graz I used stacked sheets of styrafoam for the larger "east side" mountain on my layout. I then used crumpled sheets of newspaper stacked and taped together for the "westside" mountain. I found the styrafoam method to be very: messy ( static cling reallly adds to the fun of the styrafoam shavings) slow - even using a hot wire cutter was pretty slow. more expensive - you can go through quite a few sheets for a large mountain and it requires a lot of cutting and fitting to get the basic shape done before carving begins. Both methods provided the same level of final product. Here's a link to some photos. Mike http://home.comcast.net/~graz6/wsb/html/view.cgi-home.html-.html
