I applied the last layer last night. Ripped up sheets, actually there were 2 layers of sheets. I could still read the newspaper underneath!
This morning I sprayed it all with tan-ish spray paint I found at the local hardware store... another kind of LHS, I guess...
Then I used the same wallpaper glue I used to put the newsprint and sheets on and sprinkled Earth Tone ground foam to put down a simple layer.
After this dries, probably tonight or tomorrow, I will put a few trees in to see what it looks like. If it starts to come together, like I hope it all will, I will add some deadfall and other colors and in one spot I will add some wee gravel I sifted from dirt last week.
And what mountain is complete without one of these bad boys?
I tried to capture what the top light is doing, but my camera and I are feuding. The top light slowly lights then fades then a slight pause then it does it again. Its an Iron Penguin product that my Ma-in-Law got me. (who knew she liked me so much?)
I painted it red/white/red/white/red like the ones I see around my area, but I wanted the older style fading light as I model Fall 1955. Its an N scale tower, and I am going to find an N scale building to put up there with it to house the controller for it. Maybe even put a truck or something up there as well, or maybe even tower workers hanging from the tower itself... hmmm... maybe.
Anyhoo... that's all so far. More to come.
