[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Cmdr.WedgeAntilles I am not sure if I should cut the Homasote. I was wondering if it would be possible to just paint on the Homasote. The size of the layout and the way the track is laid makes it very difficult to make mountains. Also I have plywood under the Homasote. How high should the roadbed be? The Atlas layout book had a picture of a table with plywood and Homasote. That is why I have the homasote table. (I have 1/2 inch of plywood then on top 1/2 inch Homasote.) [/quote] Cut the homasote to be slightly wider than the track. (This is "roadbed;" "subroadbed" is what the roadbed sits on, in your case, plywood.) The homasote plays the same role as cork roadbed. It is not meant to be the entire covering of the layout base. THEN you make the landforms on top of the plywood and paint that with the latex.
