A Versatile Clay For Model Railroad Scenery

Das Modelling ClayI don’t generally promote particular brands or products, but this is product I have used with success. Das is a cold-cure modelling clay ideal for constructing the base for groundwork  e.g. indoor floors, areas of outside land etc. It is also useful for constructing buildings and structures. No baking is needed (it air dries), it is easy to smooth, and can be painted (it comes in white or a terracotta color). White is probably best if you are going to paint it in light color shades.

I would be interesting to hear what other products people use, and what uses they have for Das or other clay products. As I said at the beginning, I am not here to push any one brand over another, so if you can suggest something better I would be interested in your comments.

    Steve,

    Do a quick Google search and you will see DAS is available in the USA and worldwide. Try a local craft/hobby shop or buy it from one of the retailers advertising it online eg. Amazon
