Mountain Tunnel Material

I am in the process of making mine out of various foam, some 1", 2" thickness. Sorry, no pics yet but stack them, glueing between sheets, each time on each side of your track and when you reach the roof stage of your tunnel, lay one sheet over the two sides and continue upward to the desired height of your mountain. Then shape the foam with a hot wire to create your slopes. Then use plaster clothe to blend your sheet together to make the thing appear mountainous. Then I will be using Woodland Scenics tunnel portals for my openings, using joint compound to fill in around the portals to make the rocky appearance. Hope that makes sense. J1
