Model Railroad Handbook #16
FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS, scenery building has been the part of model railroading that interests me most. During those years, I've kept a loose-leaf notebook on all my scenery projects, recording the materials I used and the order of steps. If the results were as good as or better than expected, I kept the page in the book, gradually developing a "cookbook" of workable, repeatable scenery recipes. Because standard ingredients are used throughout, I can follow these recipes and achieve predictable results time after time.
If you're a model railroader who's been searching for a fast, easy way to build realistic scenery, then this book is for you. It introduces the Water-Soluble Method of scenery construction, an innovative, all-new system that can be used by any modeler, from novice to expert. I think you'll find my cookbook approach works: Simply by following the step-by-step descriptions you'll build excellent scenery on your first try. The instructions are easy to read and easy to follow, the materials are commonplace and inexpensive, and everything you need can be obtained in hobby, craft, and art supply shops.
Here is my recipe book. Try the Water-Soluble Method of scenery building, and enjoy the results.
