More scenery

 Ok, so today I applied some plaster cloth and filled in the hole in the creek at the backdrop. I then mixed up a batch of Joe Fugate's "Ground Goop" of plaster, vermiculite and cement. I love this stuff!!! I mixed it kid of thin and coated the bottom of my stream and the fill of the roadbed and banks of the stream. I then sprayed it with a heavy mist of water to get it to "lay down" and give it a more natural look. I let it dry for a bit then mixed up a VERY WATERY batch of "Ground Goop" so I could get it to "level". In this photo, the watery mixture is still standing.

About an hour later, this is what was left. It looks to be a nice level base on which I can pour my magic water. I'm going to let this dry over night then vacuum off the loose vermiculite flakes.
