Egilman Posted May 7 Share #2672 Posted May 7 5 hours ago, Old Collingwood said: I am trying to do everything scenery wise from stuff we have in the house..... Oh I completely understand my Friend.... May I make a suggestion..... Do some materials pre-work/ pre-prep,... Standard poster board is about the thickness of the cardboard on the bottom of many notepads.... About 20-30 thousandths thick... A standard copy paper sheet is 4-5 thou thick... Laminate 6-7 sheets together into one sheet... You could even stagger the sheets to give you a thin starting and ending edge... This way you get the benefits of a thicker stronger foundation medium and a thin edge for finishing... The laminations would be lay a sheet down on a non stick surface (plastic sheet) and spray it wet with your diluted glue, lay the next sheet and do the same continuing with the inside sheets to the thickness you want, then the final sheet you lay over the freshly wetted last inner sheet and allow the glue to soak into it from underneath... Then allow to dry.... It will be a little stiffer than normal poster board from the laminating process but should duplicate the medium quite well.... But before you commit to this test it out with a one sheet set to find out how it works best for you if you go this way.... I think it will be a lot easier in the long run, yes a bit more time in preparation, but less chance for issues when you get to applying it on the model...

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.

jim Landis Posted May 8 Share #2675 Posted May 8 You might want to consider paper mache, using newsprint paper as well. It sounds like you will need more than one ream of copy paper for that area...

king derelict Posted May 8 Share #2676 Posted May 8 OC. I was wondering if you had some old cardboard boxes that you could cut up to create the contours of the rising ground. Then use strips of old newspapers/ free newspapers/ junk mail (just avoid the glossy paper) laid on with diluted white glue to get the final smooth shapes. Maybe a final layer of typing paper to get a clean surface if you want to paint on it. Yep,, old school (literally, I remember doing this at school sixty years ago). It’s papier-mâché as suggested above. The thickness of the card is probably not critical so you could use whatever you have on hand. Good luck.

king derelict Posted May 8 Share #2680 Posted May 8 I do like the 1 inch thick extruded (not expanded) polystyrene sold for insulation. Its easy to work with, cuts well, glues well and takes paint and medium well. When shaping slopes I find the average hobby knife doesn't work too well because the blade is just not long enough. I raid the kitchen instead. A long serrated knife works well. Remember the old "kitchen devil" knives.
