I was viewing these comments and they all seem to have great ideas. I have used drywall mud a lot on most of my layouts, ( I've modeled HO , N and G Scales from time to time over the years) and it does tend to make a layout very heavy. I have usually cut strips from cardboard boxes about 1 to 2 inches wide then hot glue them into place on the layout then use plastic window screen dipped in drywall mud draped over the strips. (Messy but it does make decent scenery) <br />I have tryed using 4' x 8' sheets of Foam a couple of times and was never very proficient at making it look like scenery though I have seen some great layouts that others have made by using it. I have thought about using expanding foam from a can and one of your responders highly recomends it. (should keep down the weight quite a bit) (maybe I'll try his idea on my next layout). <br />Another item I have used sucessfully on my layouts for scenery is large chunks of tree bark layed in layers horizontally (or otherwise) then airbrushed for making different stratas of rock layers. <br /> <br />But these are just ideas for you to consider. use them if you want .
