My First Foam Hill

That’s looking pretty dang good. Just keep checking your clearances as you progress…

Richard:

This is a very interesting thread. Watching things develop and improve has been very informative. Thanks for sharing.

By the way, you have proven that ‘bigger is better’![swg]

Dave

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments and suggestions. I will keep you posted as I progress. Unfortunately travel for work is keeping me away from the layout for a few days.

It has been awhile but I have made a little progress on my hill cutout. Here is the proof.

Cutout #1

Cutout #2

With life, somethings go slowly.

Coming along nicely!

It looks great to me! One of my pet peeves with using foam is the joints between the layers showing through and even though the layers of scenery. You have a fairly smooth hill, I would make sure that no layers of foam would be visible by using Ground Goop; or, Sculpt-a-Mold to fill the cracks. In this case, I guess I’m a bit more fussy than some. I like the cut through the hill you’ve made. Like Dave said: You’re coming along nicely!
