I have wanted to start a layout, but being basically "cheap" I don't want to pay the hobby shop price. Learning there is a cheap way to do scenery motivates me. I could use that technique to do a retaining wall.

For N Scale I am using Floral Foam. Although it is delicate, it's finer material reduces the furriness of the blocks. Once scored with the block pattern I paint on a couple layers of tinned Plaster of Paris before painting. --dunc

@70rrsteve51 3 года назад

Even in O scale, I’ve never had any luck using a soldering iron. I just stick with a sharp pencil. Instead of a rock casting, I use a ball of crumpled-up aluminum foil for the texture on the stones. I feel adding the texture is a critical part of the process. Nice work, Joey, and thanks for the video!

@matthewmayton1845 2 года назад

You can also use a stone or rock that you find outside for texture. It really is up to you. There is no wrong way to do it. You just want to be happy with your results in the end.

@owenoulton9312 Год назад

Exactly. In O gauge, or 1/48 scale a 1mm line is 2 inches in real life. That's a grossly out of scale grout line in a stone wall - maybe OK in gaming scenery but not in a diorama of railroad layout. I've been modelling for over 50 years and used to be an architectural model maker but a partner in an aftermarket model company.

Nice video Joey, What can be safely used to waterproof the foam and paint from washing away or running? I was thinking of using this outside when I do my "G" scale layout and also for my "O" scale, which I might set something up to run outdoors in nice weather. Thanks, Frank M.

@pancake2662 3 года назад

This type of method was developed after the 1980 when the insulating styrofoam became more available. We have the white styrene ball type of Styrofoam that we didn't have this solid core stuff yet. I used the white for the mountains in for detailing I use the more dense insulation board. Go way back we used to use black cardboard insulation cellutech we'd lay the track on table top thet wood dead in the sound make the plywood not sound like a drum.

Nov. 7, 2021---Thanks for the video, even though I've seen others doing the same, but without the soldering iron. Now I'll be the first to admit that I'm a lazy sob and it just occurred to me, could you make a 2 part silicone mold of what you just made? Then cast additional copies in plaster of paris? Imagine if you had several silicone abutments, but in different sizes. Possible even make some so the interlock?

@tracksidescenery 6 месяцев назад

HI Steve, no, the grooves probably look deeper from the black wash as it would cause that contrast.

@strangersun7721 Год назад

This looks great. I like the idea of using a soldering iron. I'm going to do that with my next build. What is "dry chalk" and how did you apply it? Looks very good on that third wall.

@tracksidescenery 10 месяцев назад

Dry chalk I use is just ground up artist chalk and then applied with a brush either dry or diluted in water or alcohol.

@saultrigueros480 2 года назад

Muy bueno como se llama ese material???

@johnclaeys9514 3 года назад

a rougher, more randomly weathered texture on the stone can be achieved by misting spray paint on to the surface of the foam after you have shaped and carved it. the more spray paint(other solvents can also be misted on to the surface), the more the paint will eat into the foam and change the texture of the surface. practice is needed to determine the amount of paint or solvent needed to get the desired effect. \

Neat! I usually just use a wire brush and sand paper.

@wjspade Месяц назад

Everyone should have SOME tools. You don’t have to cut the foam with a miter saw; I usually use a utility knife or a bread knife. Compared to buying scale wall pieces, this is much more cost effective.
