“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.
For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.”
Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT

    After I paint an area, I add scenery material. I use paint as a glue. But I do go back over it with more scenery material, alcohol and 50/50 glue mix. Have fun, Roy

    CONTAINERMAN68 the reason I use glue is that on my last layout, I had issues with the paint soaking into the ground foam and changing it's color. It really depends on the paint you use.

    I've been working on a dinky little, 2'x4' N-scale setup when I'm not at my trucking job. Mainly just all manner of cheap papier mache consisting of junk mail and packaging material. This grass ground cover looks pretty efficient as it seems you're just using materials that could easily be found at the convenience store and such. The "wet water" method seems to be the way to go with the rubbing alcohol being kind of hard to come by with the current events making everyone want to snatch it up as hand sanitizer alternative.

    Jimmy.. the only difference I use is after I white glue my scenery as you have..in a bottle I have 50/50 white glue & water..and maybe a 1/3 of the bottle is the alcohol.. same basic process as you've done.. I just don't get a double dose of wet and I don't go through as much alcohol but, get the same results as you've done.

    So did you first start off painting the base with an undeetone overtop of foam?

    I just bought some ground cover or whatever it’s called sorry- and I have a glue stick from shcool obviously.. just a normal glue stick nothing out of the ordinary it’s just one of those purple glue stick and keep in mind my ground cover currently is fake grass used for door mats- so I put some glue over the fake grass I have and then put some ontop and not sure if this will work but will it?

    You can do plain wood. Underneath is extruded foam board that is painted brown.
