Continuing layout construction on my version of the Lionel Dealer Display D-105. This is a 5x9 two-level layout. The upper level is built so that it looks like it is sitting on an outcropping of rocks. There will also be a large mountain at one end that covers both levels.
Anyway, have been working with the paint colors for the "rocks" and really experimenting with technique and colors. After a few weeks I think I've captured something pretty close to the "Lionel look" found on these old displays. Will duplicate this for the mountain later.
Note: Am not trying to exactly duplicate the mountain construction techniques used by Lionel in the 50s. Decided to go with a modern version of cardboard, paper, and plaster cloth.
