March TCD Meeting: Come For The Scenery

On Thursday, I'll be giving my second clinic in as many months to the local NMRA division.  This clinic was originally going to be a continuation of my last one, finishing up the scratchbuilding project that we started.  It seems like everyone finished their kits at the first meeting, so we're making a change.

For this second clinic, as a trial run for the 2013 regional convention, I'll be walking you through the process of turning a piece of pink styrofoam into a forested hillside, with all-natural ground cover, trees, even a rocky ledge.  Cheap, easy, and very realistic.

  1. Where do you get such small and thin wood from to make your models?

  2. There are several manufacturers of scale lumber products.  Two of the most popular are Midwest Products (http://goo.gl/7w6EN) and Northeastern Scale Lumber (http://goo.gl/I095m).

    I also use paper or cardstock...
