Ditto to needed access, especially if your tunnels are more than a couple of feet long. To texture the first 2 or 3 inches, you might be able to use the Woodland Scenics "tunnel liner" molds. The mold, used with Hydrocal or plaster of paris, makes half a liner section ... one side and half the top in a sort of upside-down "J". If you left enough room in your tunnel, you might be able to cast two of them, paint them black or very dark gray, then "persuade" them into the tunnel opening, especially if the portal isn't permanently attached yet. If you have to cut off part of the curved ceiling to get it inside, it probably won't show. I've used them on all my tunnels and they look great. But it's much easier to start with them, instead of squeezing them in later. Have fun & let us know how you do.
