I took my first step into hardshell scenery yesterday with the application of some Woodland Scenics plaster cloth. I'd picked up two rolls of the Woodland Scenics cloth this last week while traveling and wanted to experiment with it. I thought work in this area using the plaster cloth went very quick and smooth for my first attempt but at $8 per roll, I don't think I'll used the WS cloth again. In checking around, I had several people recommend plaster cloth from Jerry's Artorama that's 1/4 the price of the WS. I placed an order for some yesterday and will post results.
After getting the plaster done, I returned to working on my grain bins. I'd gotten an order in the mail from the hobby shop that included needed paint and styrene strips. So, I got the basic roof done and the first coat of paint on. So far, I like how my first real scratch build went. Next up is detailing and weathering.
