I am at the process in my layout of adding my base scenery, ie the mountains and other hillocks and cliffs et al. I am using pink extruded foam insulation to form the layers of my scenery base. I am forming the rough shape of the mountains using a drywall saw with a narrow blade, and a surform shaver. The resulting base form is very rough in texture. What next step should I take to get the rocks/cliffs to start looking like rocks and cliffs? Sanding? Then what should I cover the lovely pink colour with? Paint? Drywall compund, Hydrocal, Plaster? <br /> <br />I look forward to your suggestions. <br /> <br />Trevor <br /> <br />
