Just done a side on view in Paint to show the gradient of the scenery or how it should be, just shows a rough guide to the slope of the grounds from the wall road towards the NW, its shows how I could display like a cut through view of the ground on the edge of my base. OC.

Thats called Fate Craig - it led you to finding them Two jems. OC.

What is attracting me towards the foam board shown above - is to be able to show nice sharp clean edges where they meet the display case sides, I would probably paint them an Earth colour to mimic cutting through a piece of ground. OC.

Thank you for the link Alan. OC.

Thank you Alan, it does look good - I have watched a few videos of it being used for scenery. OC.

I have seen this stuff even says it can be sanded to make contours and gradients - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266556642528?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20240131095853%26meid%3D49c2093ed2da43b9b9b6ed903ca8c204%26pid%3D101949%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D266556642528%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2Mobile%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p4375194.c101949.m162918&_trkparms=parentrq%3A5a061b6e18f0a0dc76e9ce35fffe4c82|pageci%3Aa22ccd1e-0d7e-11ef-919e-32f7db286d20|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage OC.

Really Impressive work Craig - lovely job. OC.
-
I have been studying that Styrene blocks that you can cut and sand to shape, need to check it out for later. OC.
-
Thank you for looking in Jim. OC.

I am very keenly looking at all the options for my landscape areas of my build, as I want to try to do a convincing job of it. OC.

Thank you kindly for explaining all that, my thinking for using ordinary copy paper is because I already have a ream of it to hand, I will be landscaping directly down onto my plastic base (Green in my photos) and the dimensions of the slope gradients are from 3mm at the end where it joins the paving section near the porch sloping up gradually towards the edge of the barn where it needs to be between 15 and 20mm, then sloping away to my Right where it needs to be about 25mm, so I was thinking starting off with my 3mm thick over the whole area, then page by page adding them graduating them to get the gradual slope or even a slight ridge where the slope might not be a perfect line but lightly rounded, also where it meets the log store extension I want the ground to slightly fall back abit with a nice rounded taper, not forgetting it will have the grass mat over the top of it so it should be plenty tough enough - and the weight does not matter as its weighty all over to be fair. But I have never done any scenery landscaping before - so its all a learning curve. I do appreciate your input and ideas brother as every little helps. OC.

To be honest I never got round to starting it - I passed it on to an other. OC.
-
Superb work Mike - All of it. OC.
-
Evening all, washes on the extension - just needs some gentle dry brusing dust to blend the roof in and some on the edges of the posts (also noticed a piece of the roof edge missing paint) OC.
-
Thank you for that brother, trouble is I am trying to do everything scenery wise from stuff we have in the house, the only thing I want to pay out for is more figures when I can. OC.
-
Morning all, I have decided to attempt my scenery profiling using sheets of typing paper (as I have these to hand) has any body tried this formula for model scenery as I can not find any links on the net, its sounds straight forward in my head - just a case of having enough paper for the height I want - then just sloping the A4 sheets in the directions I want using PVA to keep them in place and build it up as I go, don't foregut on top of this I have my grass sheet that will be glued over the top of the contours. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Alan. OC.
-
Looking forward to that Dan. OC.
-
Afternoon all, right - washes added to the wall, then glued down, also I added wee bit more washes to the general areas to dirty it up a little, the log store still needs its extension placing. OC.
-
Thank Ken. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Mark. OC.
-
Looking good Alan, so hard to pull these sea scapes off, and we thought land scenery is tough, looking forward to seeing how this finishes. OC.
-
Tell you what mate - you have brought out the details in those Two - lovely work mate. OC.
-
Some lovely progress there, will you be leaving the entrance hatch open to allow some views into the cockpit? OC.
-
Evening all, working on my wall - random brick colours done then a dusty dry brush, this will be followed up tomorrow with a wash or Two to darken it all - kind of looks like a wall. OC.
