Hi, Please, where did you buy this rape ? the name of that rape is particular ?

Thanks

[thebige61]

@thesissou123 LOL! It's called a rasp. I got it at Menards. You can get them at any home improvement store or hardware store

@thesissou123 Lol...it's called a Surform Rasp and you should be able to get one at any hardware store or home supply store(Menards, Lowes, Home Depot...etc.)

What materials do you use to make that mountain? (including tools, materials and so on). That may facilitate me to purchase

[thebige61]

I give a list of materials in the first part of this series

I would never have guessed this is how you can make mountains all by hand amazing work.

@arkahm

The 2 in blue foam here is $25 bucks for a 4x8 sheet.

I finally found someplace to buy XPS (Extruded PolyStyrene) Foam in Southern Cali. It took me forever and it isn't the Owen's Pink Foam. I had to get the Blue Dow 25 PSI "Styrofoam". It is QUITE expensive here. Paying almost $30 for a 4'x8' 1" thick slab. The 2" was $50. A bit pricey but if it lets me build like this, it will be worth it to me.

@thebige61

yes you can use foam in a can. Some books on scenery tell how to use it, carves just like sheet foam

[MrSilverballmania]

hey i use a wire wheel and a drill it makes quick work but more a mess then i use tools to make my rock formations but to each its own do you run dcc on your trains

[modeltrainfanatic98]

Isn't it messy work I mean the excess foam?
