That's all I'm seeing. When I click on a link, I get rabbit-holed. Are there photos?

Before you install your next hill

get a roll of wax paper and tape it to the back drop.  Push your hill up against it and leave it in place until you are completely finished with the ground cover and static grass.  Then take your #11 Exacto blade and cut the wax paper right along the the top of the hill.  There will be nothing on the backdrop to touch up.  I had trouble with my glue drying under the foam also Mike.  I took some 3" screws and ran a few through the foam into the plywood to keep it from lifting up and sliding around.  Just plaster over the screws if they show.  I too really like the look of those hills.  You need to tell us about the cloth you're using and where to buy it in bulk like you did.  How about introducing your "crew " to us?  Who was the third guy in the picture?  The scenery was a nice break from track work.  Looking forward to the next video buddy.

Unfortunately posting only the link does not work for youtube videos on MRH. The forum software tried to interpret it and a bug leaves it broken for many people,

Please see these 2 threads for posting or fixing video links correctly:

Plaster Cloth

I'm very impressed with how you worked with the plaster cloth, I have not seen or read anything about how people apply it. I had assumed you would just dip the cloth in a bucket of water, but I really like how you used the brush. Very clean and tidy!! And smooth!

Learned some great stuff here.

Plaster

I've always done it the "other way" as well and it's pretty messy. Next time I'll try your way...
Thanks for sharing.
