[quote user="gear-jammer"] <p><font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">LadyT, 6 X 10 is a great size but remember that access in the center could be difficult. If you won't need to access the center, finish it first. We cut holes from the bottom in case of derailments in tunnels.</font></p><p><font size="3">I like the geodesic foam hardshell and rocks/ molds from <a href="http://www.bragdonent.com/">www.bragdonent.com</a> because it is light and realistic. If it sets up on you too fast, just heat it with a hairdryer to reshape it. It may seem spendy, but I have found it to be about the same as foam/plaster cloth.</font></p><p><font size="3">Use cardboard strips to shape.</font></p><p><font size="3">[IMG]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m232/gearjammers/DSC_0017.jpg[/IMG]</font></p><p><font size="3">Do hard shell then cover with rocks</font></p><p><font size="3">[IMG]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m232/gearjammers/DSC_0063.jpg[/IMG]</font></p><p><font size="3">[IMG]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m232/gearjammers/DSC_0100-1.jpg[/IMG]</font></p><p><font size="3">[IMG]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m232/gearjammers/DSC_0100.jpg[/IMG]</font></p><p><font size="3">Also a digital camera is great to share.</font></p><p><font size="3">Sue</font></p>[/quote] Hi Sue, Thanks for the advise, I never thought about access, I forgot all about it. The train is going in the basement which I just finished. You think I could make a U shape design to have easy access? or is that stupid.
