Thanks Ken!! Actually not heavy at all. Sculptamold is like plaster when it goes on but when it dries out it’s pretty light. With all I’m doing between plaster and sculptamold I’m only adding maybe 15 pounds of total weight. Everything is pretty thin too - about 1/4 inch thick over the foam board
Your visionary foresight is remarkable. I don't know how you can see the finished product before you even start. Thoroughly enjoining the series. Thanks for the great instructions.
Bill, again, I love your vision. It's funny when you tell someone that can't see in their mind a picture of what you are talking about. My wife is in that group. But it is so satisfying to get said project done where they "can" see it. Bravo sir! ...Claude
This is a really complex scene - but you're plan and choice of materials and construction methods is working brilliantly. Really fun to see how you are doing it!
Hi ya Bill. We, ( fellow modelers,) should be as talented as you for creating a 3D version of your envisioned layout. Looking great. I look forward to your next update. See ya next time.
Bill, be sure to keep all the little pieces you knock off for talus or natural rock fall that would collect at the bottom of your rock faces. Just color those too as you go. Looking good!
Looking great there Bill. First thing I see during your opening shots was the HO and N scale looking like one railroad with a lot of action going on, nice view. Your expertise in Geography makes this not only look great but explains why rock formations are the way they are in the real world. My one thought is with all that plaster, would it help when mixing it to add a light brown shade of paint when applying? This would help if there was ever a chip in the scenery or the need to drill a hole somewhere after it is complete. That sounded like the student asking the Professor, "what if you"...... anyway, love to watch the updates and the awesome progress. . From the next state North of you, have a great weekend.
Thanks Rob!! I have thought about adding color but with the number of batch’s I make it really would be worth the efforts. Any future dings I can quickly hide using. Dab or acrylic paint
Dear Bill, definitely sounds like you’re having a great lot of fun with the 3D-ing more of your O-scale layout. Looking great, love the progress and how you do your narration!!
Thanks Fred!! Actually it’s not heavy. I can still push the entire layout around with one hand. The sculptamold dries to a very lite finished product so I’m adding maybe 15 pounds total for weight on all the hills/mountains on this side. Most is only 1/4 of an inch thick
Really it’s not bad. I have a Furman d for the house that sits in the garage so I’m winter it never gets drastically hot. Central air also goes thru that furnace so in summer it helps keep the garage cool. I limit opening the garage door too so I keep humidity out as Much as possible

Looks like it's coming along quite nicely Bill you're definitely the man with the plan 👍👍
Thanks Charles!!

Thanks Doug!! I can envision an area as I’m working. It changed as I do more but I do know what I want for an end goal

So true Claude. My wife is the same 😁
Geology with Bill. I love watching how you do this. Looks fantastic. Steve.
Thanks Steve!!
Holy Cow Bill great tips as your building thanks Man !
Thanks Bernard!!

Thanks John!! The scene has pulled together pretty well. Running trains on it is a blast 😄

Thanks Norman!!
Bill, be sure to keep all the little pieces you knock off for talus or natural rock fall that would collect at the bottom of your rock faces. Just color those too as you go. Looking good!
Thanks!! I did save those snd have used them as full materials by the O scald bridge 😃
Looking good Don’t Rush it.
Thanks Elmer!!

Thanks Vincent!!
That is going to be a stunning scean, Bill. Just in time for me as I'm going to be working on something similar. Thanks for sharing, David
Thanks David!! Hope it gives you some ideas 😃
This section of the layout looks like it’s going to heavy. How are your going to transport the layout to shows?
Thanks Fred!! Actually it’s not heavy. I can still push the entire layout around with one hand. The sculptamold dries to a very lite finished product so I’m adding maybe 15 pounds total for weight on all the hills/mountains on this side. Most is only 1/4 of an inch thick
Wow
Thanks Brandon!!
@@modelrailroadadventureswit6347 your welcome
Too bad you haven't thought about the possibility of a snow shed at around 9:50. I think it would look cool and work for you.
You know I like that idea but didn’t think about adding one. Maybe on a future layout I’ll do that 😃
Looks like you are in a garage, how do you deal with the temperature extremes of the season?
Really it’s not bad. I have a Furman d for the house that sits in the garage so I’m winter it never gets drastically hot. Central air also goes thru that furnace so in summer it helps keep the garage cool. I limit opening the garage door too so I keep humidity out as Much as possible
