This is the smaller of the two molds I have it's just been painted with white lacker and it's drying so I can cast the mold. About fifteen minutes after the reason is pored it's ready to be hot glued onto the hard shell. Because it's still pliable it can be shaped to what ever contour you want it to be.
This is the larger and more rugged rock molds with a fresh coat of paint drying. It's fun to cast these and then while they are still pliable you can tear them and do just about any thing you want to when you are gluing them to the hard shell.
Here is some castings glued to the hard shell. I will get this section all covered with the rock casings then I will start the painting and detailing portion. The bottom of the river is almost done even have the bridge supports cast and glued into place. I used a mold that looks like bricks have been used to build the supports.
Just a few more castings to add then the painting and detailing will be the next step. The upper track in this photo is going to be a bridge just not sure what type it will be yet. My goal is to have this section all done this weekend.
When I am waiting on the paint to dry I work on my 4-8-4 Northern Steam locomotive kit. Starting to get the boiler details filed and glued on then it's time to put the boiler on the drivers and frame. The tender is done and as soon as I get the boiler mounted it's time to paint. This is a Bowser cast mettle kit that I have had for about eight years have about fifty hours into it all ready. I just started to work on it agin this week it's been about seven years since I have worked on it.
