    edges of grass mat do not stick to the plaster, i should have known that since it is porous, so using large grass to hide edge, have some weeds and other stuff i will add later after track is put back on later in week.

    Got a bit done today, Since the Rain does not stop i can work on train, Using 1/4 foam board for sides and internal support for tunnels and mountain, am going to get 2" foam to put on top and then make a couple sections that i can remove to access track when needed.

    That foam board makes a big difference. This is going to be a great scene.
