Just a few of my scenery techniques over the past 44 years. There are a lot of the one's that I use already posted on this forum. But, some are not. (Water;) Clear silicone caulk or weather stripping--plexiglass coated w/matte medium or gloss medium. (Mountains;) Patching plaster over alum. screen--celotex ceiling tiles. (Water Paints); small amounts of "white pearl" for highlites in acrylics. (Land Base); colored saw dust, colored Elmers glue, sand, dirt & small fish aquarium stones. (Mountain Streams & Waterfalls) Clear silicone on clear packing tape. (Rocks); Pine Bark, rocks, pebbles, rock molds(make my own) foam, Aquarium stone. (Tree's); buy already made, make own out of stranded wire, store bought babies breath(coated w/foam) & many other forms. (Modern Structures); plastic sign material, fiberglass sheets, plexiglass, Fluorescent lite covers(waffle designs)(white & chrome) found objects. (Fence); Fine mesh aluminum screen, party toothpicks, railroad ties, railroad rails. I found an item last week in a Joanne's fabric store( fine mesh brass screen) for chain link fence. 1/16 brazing wire for chainlink posts. (Rail Ballast); Ballast, colored saw dust or colored sand. (Building lighting); Christmas tree lights lowered to a smaller voltage. (Grass), all of the above plus rr grass. These are just a few of mine & I have been using them for years. I'll probably think of something else later. What are your's? Larry
