Mike: can I say it sounds like a standard technique? I don't know if you need to have 3 different thicknesses of board -- just layering one should be enough.

Sounds like you are trying to do mountain flats the way some do building flats. And if so then yes it will work. Thing is to use the same plaster and paint as you merge it into the foreground area. This will make the transition less noticable. Hope that helps.

Hey!!

That's a neat idea!! I've been contemplating how to go about doing a backdrop for the layout, This sounds like a good "cut & paste" technique. Paint the backdrop board sky blue/whitish, and superimpose cutouts of mountains, valleys, etc. If you don't like the look, take off the "pasty" & try something else...!!!

I'll give it a try!!!:thumb:
