Eric,
Awesome modeling, as usual.  Even better, IMO, the clear explanations of the steps you take to achieve the final result. Thanks for sharing your work with us!

Thank you very much Jaime, Mark, John, Dustin, Brad, Jim, Tom and Jerry for your comments I much appreciate it.
It's always a pleasure to share expereince with other modelers. I've learn a lot  during the last past 4 years, and I'm learning each day from many very good modeler's that's share with us their experiences.
I think it's an important part of our hobby that make it so rich and interesting.
Thanks to all, and thanks to viewing.

Hello all,

There'S a long time since I've update this thread, the reason is simple, the progress ont the Wrisley paper dio are slow : I've more skill in building construction rather than in scenery, and I've dedicated somes times to finish my red Hook Dio.

So what's new ?
First'I've finish the "hard" work on the dio (i.e. make the palster rock and and the lanscape).

The I've stainit with AI solution like I've do it for my Hoopers Oysters Dio, as explain by DOug FOscale, And encounter a problem. My rocks are too porous, and litterally drink the AI solution and let a sad dark grey on the rock whitout any shade. . THe reason is very simple, I've over dilute my plaster when I molding the rocks.

At this point I was very disapointed, and i was very tempted to throw everything in garbage and start over again. FInally I'Ve decide to continue anyway. SO I've apply some wash of Ocher and Umber color.

and dry brush the rocks with with and ocher color.

Then I've paint the base with a coat of raw umber color because I don't have earth color . That was just before I discover that  White + raw Umber + Ocher = Earth color....   
And Finally I've glue the brick base of the main mill in place.

And FInish the deck

Then I've begin the scenery. First I've glue a thin coat of my "Quebec dust" After what I've glue a coat of  semi fine sand

Next I've build the trestle coal in 5 sections, because in my project the coal trestle is in coure.

And finally, begin to add some vegetation and casting.
At this time, I've do almost 10 % of the scenery.
here's some pictures from the small area that are almost finish.

That's all for today, as always, feel free to comment, and thank you for viewing.

Rocks turned out nice.


I've been following what Dave Frary does for rocks. I posted a YouTube video of Dave  Frary's method on my Tucker and Cook build thread.


Scenery is difficult for me. So I appreciate your efforts.

Thank you Jeff. Yes, finally I'm satsisfied by the rocks. IN addition to the wash of ocher and Unmber colors, it was necessary to make several dry brush  with white, ocher, a little bit of sienna and Umber.  Next time I will follow the instruction to blend my plaster.
