Chicken Wire

When I made my layout I used Chicken wire and found that it was very easy to use. Follow these steps:

1. Cut the chicken wire to the size you will need it.

2. Nail or staple down one side of the chicken wire to the track. WARNING: When using chicken wire always bend the edges in as they can get sharp.

3. Mold the chicken wire in the shape you wish to have the mountain.

4. Use paper mache over the chicken wire. Use several coatings of paper mache for a tougher mountain.

5. When me and my Dad made the layout we found that pouring plaster of paris over it to make it hard didnt excactly work to plan. The plaster actually feel off after putting it on.

6. Using some paint you can paint over the mountain and add any ground foam.
