My name is Kevin Blakeney and on behalf of Expert Village, we are going to show you today
how to make your levels look even more realistic by sculpting using a rough tool and a hot
wire. Now that you have your levels in place and your track plan you are going to want
to glue it. You are going to want to use a construction adhesive and let this sit for
24 hours and you would have a nice strong hold. Once that is dry you are ready to sculpt
which is the next level of detail. My Styrofoam chose is the white installation board. Now
if you are unable to get that and you have to choose the yellow with the foil coat on
it. You aer going to want ot get one of these sculpting tools. This is the best for that
kind of Styrofoam. But it also works wonders on this. Now I chose this Styrofoam for one
chose and chose only you can use a hot wire on it. This tool creates nice, custom edges
like magic. Cuts like butter. You are going to want ot do this along every square or rough
edge of your Styrofoam base in a well ventilated area. This is going to be the base to your
rock base design which we would paint later. You are going ot want to do the top and the
inside of your tunnels as well as any hill sides. Now if you want to add even more detail
you can go back with this tool, rough it up a little bit, get a nice rough rock base that
you can later paint and add your landscaping to.
