With the tombstone project out of the way until warmer weather arrives, I turned my attention back to the railroad. The paper mache' clay I use for the stones is very similar to Sculptamold or Celluclay. Not wanting to waste it, I decided to install the terrain along the creek. The leftover clay is wrapped in two layers of plastic wrap in the first picture. By this time it is a few weeks old, going on a month. With the no-flour recipe I use there's very little to mold or turn sour. Not sure how long it would stay workable but I didn't use it all on this project so I've wrapped up the rest and will check periodically to see how it looks. Anyway, I used a block of floral foam as a substrate and applied the clay over that. It takes a while to harden but I'm in no hurry. Once it is good and dry I'll rout out the bottom of the creek a little deeper before applying additional texture.
Looks good!
