I use hydrocal that I buy at the local lumber yard in big bags (not the Woodland scenics packages - too much $$$$). I use hydrocal because it is very strong--harder and stronger than joint compound, plaster of paris etc.... I use any old paper towels that I can find on special and apply it all over a wire screen armature. I use two coats of palster soaked towels as the base for my scenery. There are other methods but I like a bullet proof shell for the base. If a visitor bumps or leans on this type of shell there is no damage (except maybe a skinned elbow)....For an example of my plaster work, click on the link below my name....
