15. I’m starting here to
pre-slope the foam and
glue each piece in into
its place. I find it easier
to do the basic shaping,
and save the carving for
the final stages. Note
how the short pieces are
extended almost to the
tunnel portal, and how
radically different the
scene looks even at this
early stage.

16. Lots going on here as I get into a more challeng-
ing area. I was trying to save as much of the good
grassy areas and ballasted track as possible, which is
why you see gaping holes, finished ground and every-
thing in between! Here I’m using pieces of regular
pink foam to rough-in a small gorge that acts as a
drainage ditch for several scenery areas. Ultimately,
this gives a reason for the existing bridge, just to the
right of this photo.
