Milwaukee, Racine & Troy HO scale steel cupola caboose - road name 1407
Don’t miss this exclusive HO scale Milwaukee, Racine & Troy steel cupola caboose.
I like the idea of using bubble wrap to support the plaster. It’s easier to reuse than the wadded newspaper that we used to use.
I do one thing different with the plaster wrap. I put it on the area dry and wet it with a foam brush after I get it set where I want it. I have found that this is much less messy and does a good job. It is so much better and easior than the older paper towel with plaster on it.
Really helpful … for some of us new to modeling railroading these are very informative … more please!
Great article. Recently I used this producy for the first time and was most impressed. It saves a lot of time.
Nice job, Cody! I'm about to start same on my railroad.
Nice demo , good info . A picture is worth a thousand words !
Great! It will make things easier to create mountains and hills.
I liked the demo, it was easy to follow. I will double the layers as I am a "O" gauger.
I belong to the Fever River Model Railroad Club in Freeport Illinois and we usually have used foam. I am going to use this method in an area that we modified to add a passing siding. This method looks so much less messy than the foam and I really like the use of the bubble wrap for support. Great video on a product I was hesitant to use.
I'm a new guy, dyeing to try it all
"Ran across" the plaster gauze several weeks ago. Just got 2 rolls 6"x15' which should give me a good start on the scenery. Since I have a bunch of bubble wrap (which is a great idea) it will also be used. Thanks, Cody.
great article Cody. I have a question. When is MR going to run a series on railroads in the Pacific NW?…. Love to see one…TONY
That bubble wrap was a great idea! I have plenty of it around the house from items that were delivered. And what's great is that it can be reused over and over again.
Gee, Mr. Geeves. I've always done it the same way you do. But I must agree. . .the removable bubble wrap is a great idea. Thanks, Cody.
I used cloth strips dip into a sloppy plaster mix your method is less messier which great.
I have only used styrofoam in the past, I am going to give this a try. Thanks Cody!
Thank you Cody for the very nice and professional delivery of your plaster cloth video.
Model Railroader Books 2002, "The New Scenery Tips & Techniques" describes a method for landforms, using a process called Glue Shell. I have never seen it used in any other article by MR. Has anyone tried this method? I wondered if it did not find favor with modelers, or had some user friendly problems. It appears to be a decent alternative to plaster cloth.
I use the plaster gauze to cover layers of styrofoam, but the bubble wrap is a great idea.
Made it look so easy, thanking you for sharing.
I agree with the, at least, two layers but I put the first layer down and then the second , overlapping the pieces so the joints aren't in the same place. I've also tried puttint the cloth on dry and spraying it. Works just as well and, as stated, is neater.
I like the Basic TRAINing series and the level of the tutorial. These videos hit the missing link that got me started on scenery. Thanks.
Hi Cody great information passed on here,well done i am gonna give that method a try you made it look so easy,i reckon the wife could do handle doing that part now having seen the clip many thanks cheers Graham
excellent!
Instead of bubble wrap, we used newspaper to fill in the gaps
