Marly51 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 My corrugated card formers and cereal box lattice which works for me. l keep my lattice more open so I can play around with the contours a bit more at the papier-mâché stage... I like to use the soft brown pulp paper, which often comes with packaging, as my first layer. Marlyn 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scenery is pretty much complete, just need to add lots more detail. Currently got into building loco kits which takes up all of my modelling time right now! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once bitten.... Some years ago I was making masters for coal loads for a manufacturer of "O" scale kits downunder and was using unused kitty litter to represent the contents of the hoppers. I mixed the kitty litter with a 50/50 mix of waterproof builder's PVA and water. Alas as the mix dried out the kitty litter would keep shrinking, so over a period of many days it was a case of continually adding kitty litter and PVA mix to the hopper. Even after many days when I thought the masters were dry they continued to shrink, making the masters basically useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert17649 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 old yellow pages are good the paper is thin and absorbent( sounds like old TV ad for bog roll) doesn't grow mould either. don't use it so much now . The resulting structure is light and tough as old boots takes a paint coat well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
