Hello Ross,

Do you think this will work with plastic wall, like in the Faller kits?

[RMS55]

@77alnel, The paint technique only works on material that allows the paint to soak into it. You will have to use opaque type paints.

@hitchhiker38 Hi hitchhiker38, Thankyou for your comments. The birds you hear are local to the area I live in but no rain forest. I enjoy all aspects of the hobby.

Very Nice. Can you tell me did you make the wall or did you purchase them. Also what was your paint mixture ratio ?

[RMS55]

77alnel, The wall was made from plaster castings, one for the arched section and another for the solid wall behind which where then glued together onto a wooden profile.
