Ep 7 Tracking Into The Mining Camp

In this episode, I am spending my timecreating three different types of trees, with three different methods.

Building the Mountaintop
Using Woodland Scenics Plaster Cloth, and some water, I build up the base of the mountaintop. Again, with some Woodland Scenics Burnt Sienna, and Earth Green Undercoat paint, I liberally coat the white areas for prep, before adding ground cover.

Mine Shaft Entrances
From Woodland Scenics (I swear I am not sponsored!), I found a pair of Culvert Moulds, and built them to be my mine shaft entrances. Using some Woodland Scenics Burnt Umbre, and some Vallejo Mahogany Brown Paint for the basic colours, I also added a later Black Wash for some weathering.

Beginning Ground Cover on the mountaintop!
Using Woodland Scenics Coarse Ground Cover: Light Green, Medium Green, and a Burnt Grass colour, i coated the ground. Around the mine entrances, I used some sand, too. A spray of thinned scenic glue was used to keep it all in place.

Kadee Logging Caboose
I found a small caboose, to use as the base of operations for the Mining Spur. I built the Model, and added some paint.

Stay Tuned... more posts will follow, with updates and progress to come...
