Welcome to the Fos Blog. You'll occasionally find info and updates about our latest kit and DVD releases, but mainly you'll read about progress or lack of progress on my New Haven themed layout. It's a freelanced version loosely depicting areas of Connecticut and some Brooklyn waterfront.

New River
Now that my layout no longer represents present day Iowa, but instead 1950's New England, I can freely add more rock work to the landscape. I extended the edge of the layout 4" to accommodate a small river with a fall. My intention was to give rock molds a try thinking it would make things go faster. After using just one, which I ended up burying, it just seemed easier for me to carve the whole length of the river in plaster. This way I could get the shape and mass I was looking for. The only thing I'm not happy with is that right now it looks tacked on - but I think it's mostly due to the fact that it's stark white; once it's colored and covered with vegetation it should blend in nicely.
