FJ & G, Hydrocal is manufactured by Woodland Scenics. You should be able to get it from your local hobby shop. Mine sells it in half-gallon milk carton-type containers. I've never used it, and our local club uses joint compound for most of the scenery. We also use the Woodland Scenics plaster cloth for large landscape features, such as mountains or riverbeds. <br /> <br />We use the extruded foam insulation board (blue or pink) as a base, cutting it and shaping it as needed for hills, rises, etc., Then cover it with a layer of joint compound. We don't work the joint compound too much with tools, since the marks from the knife will be covered with ground cover, etc. <br /> <br />As a side note, I wonder if modeler's clay would work as well as the clay Eric gets from his yard?
