Very nice. Another thing to garner that quizical look from the Mrs. when we're out shopping.

"You need a party balloon for the model railroad????"

Sculptamold is a paper-mache/plaster combination. When mixed with latex paint it retains the color when it dries. It is made by Amaco and is available in most art stores.

Hope that helps

That is really great. I am just getting to that stage and will try this. First, tell me about sculptamold. That is a new one to me.
