[quote] user="Dustin" <p>It looks great! Your Helix complexity gives me faith that my complex helix might actually work too!</p><p> Have you considered adding some earth coloured paint to your plaster while it was still wet to help with the scenery process? It can affect the setting time a little, but I found when I did it on my last project the time spent later colouring the mountains was easier... plus any nicks in the plaster didn't show through white.</p><p>Kepp posting... it looks really cool! </p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Thanks !</p><p>I have tried adding color to the plaster but find that the color ends up too uniform and still needs to be painted. I really did not find that it saved any time and quit doing it. I only get nicks in the plater when I am making changes; those get painted anyhow.</p><p>My mountain climbing loop is 100' feet of track to rise 24"; this is a 2 % grade.</p><p> </p>
