Wow Jenny I'm definitely going to try your cloth and glue method, it will be significantly less expensive than plaster cloth. Thank you for this, Chris
Taking shape fast Jenny. You're inspiring a lot of people with this, me included! At this rate I'll be bringing forward my plans for that 009 'module'!
Thank you Jenny. I have procured two ramps of the Woodland Scenics Ramps and other sections. I regret a purge of polystyrene about four years back as I had amassed a stock of the stuff and a decorating had to be done....taking up space....broken getting moved around ....et.c. So, with 'scratch-building' being more like 'scrimping on the important bits' aside and taking a stock of other materials, I'm pressing on with my own layout. Thank you for the advice on the Woodland Scenics stuff and all the encouragement this little series has given. Stay Safe and Keep Well Jenny. Cheers!
I used shaper sheet and the plaster. I found it easier to apply it with a brush. Even a very thin layer, set very hard. It is useful stuff and like you, I prefer to use it quite runny. When I use polystyrene type materiel, I use the plaster over the top before painting. It adds strength, prevents crumbling and means you use less paint. I have used washed and dried wet-ones too. Edit: I used brown wood filler, PVA and chinchilla sand from the pet shop for an earth covering.
Looks good so far! My new oo9 layout is very similar in dimensions to yours, though what I did was used the Peco N gauge curved points instead of the oo9 ones. Ignoring the mishaped sleepers they work pretty well, though it's nothing a bit of clever ballasting can't hide!
That really does look like fun, but finally got to see the J Cloth method in action! Which I was intrigued on, great update on your OO9 gauge layout :) Also those Risers? Could they be used as a retaining wall?
Thanks Jenny for the mention. PVA-Jaycloth Alan say's Thanks again. I am a novice youtuber with 4 Vids so far. Anyhoo I will email Zoe soon. Regards Al in Dover x
Brilliant. Wish I’d known about the J cloth method earlier. So often the simplest and cheapest things and methods are still the best.

Great project, Jenny.
Looking really good. Interesting idea about the J cloth..
Enjoy your videos, but what scale isoo9 and what are j clothes. They almost look like drawer liners that we use here in the states thank you Ralph

Did I see a Weller iron in the background? Every lady should have one in hand bag.
Just use gypsum gauze !
