This is a good example of one technique of building mountains. I'll wager that Jim puts some Woodland Scenic plaster cloth over this followed by some Sculptamold and then dirt and grass color followed by trees and bushes. Fast and lightweight and easy to plant trees...just poke and plant.......adding just the right amount of glue. <br /><br />I like the way there is some bare ground showing between some of the tree stands.....very realistic. I tend to plant much thicker stands, but Jim has captured the real appearance also.<br /><br />Loren
