surfjunke Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 The sedan I built this past spring was sold to a long time friend & he wanted a case for it. The case came from BBR . The car looked lost in the large case, so I dug into my Model railroad ground work stuff & had some fun. I have not used any of this stuff many years. The wood base was cut from scrap pine on my cut off saw & then shaped on a router table. I made it so the black plastic base snapped over the wood. The ground work was carved from foam, covered with Celuclay & when dry painted, washed & dry brushed with varying shades of brown acrylic paint. When that was dry I applied railroad static grass. The tree is from Woodland Scenics. The tree is cast in soft white metal, so you can bend it to any shape you like. After priming & paint, the colored foam was applied for the foliage. The road is 600 automotive wet & dry sand paper glued to some scrap illustration board. The white line was masked off & painted.
