Layout #6
Layout to Iowa
I got a call one day asking if I do layouts. Sure. I want it for my reception area of my business, construction. Okay.
So off we go in at least 3 parts.
Part One:
Since many visitors here are newcomers I thought this layout presentation should go over everything from start to finish. Not all have time to get the whole picture from the beginning of this thread so you regulars can look at this as a refresher and new folks can see how this is all done.
I had my board and I laid out some track to get an idea.
I liked what I saw so I traced the track. The owner didn't want a representation of Iowa, but would like mountains an things. All up to ME.
After tracing I had guidelines for placing the foam. In my mind and on a piece of paper I cannot find now, I laid the foam knowing what I wanted.
Next some plaster cloth over the foam.
Then because of weight all landforms are newspaper.
Finally plaster cloth.
Next week track and some scenery. Jim
