Got the backdrops from SceneryExpress.com. Very fast, and pretty cheap. Glued to a piece of paneling using 3M super88… Was simple to add, and I think make it looks nice…
I was actually surprised how easy it was to do… The pink foam is so much easier than the way we built mountains when I was a kid…
The creek uses aquarium gravel, and craft paints from Michaels. Then poured in realistic water… Really prertty easy to do…
The best part is that I made it “split” in the center (if you look closer you can see in my benchwork). My goal is to use these 2 modules as the end of a much larger layout… Have to still talk my wife into that though… She likes it, so so far so good. We’re having lots of fun running it now, and still finishing some more models.
Thanks to all in this thread for some of the ideas I was able to try…
