I've used Hydrocal, joint compound and Sculptamold in the past for making landforms. Anymore though, I use the extruded styrofoam insulation made by either Dow or Dupont. I'm in N scale with N-TRAK modules as well as a traveling layout that have styrofoam for most, if not all of the scenery base. Since my son has been away in college, I've had to schlep these things around by myself, so the light weight of the foam scenery is greatly appreciated. <br />It's easy to work with, and while it can get messy when shaping it with a rasp, I'm always happy with the results I get. <br /> <br />Just something to think about.
