Dab on layers of CA on the sides to simulate bulges. You'll have to paint over them after, of course, but it works. And don't use a soldering iron! The key is to hide your techniques and using a soldering iron makes it look like you used a soldering iron on it.

Put the model in hot water then make dents by rolling it over a corner or something.
Can't do any of those things or I will ruin what I already have. Maybe next time I'll try the CA trick. For now thinking very warm rounded handle of butter knife.

some work on the T-TRAK modules (specifically 'Arbo' and 'Queenman' Canyons...

some extra detail carving and the first coat of paint (ostensibly to pick a good base color)...this first coat reveals that I won't have to cover the entire slope(s) in precolored Sculptamold (keeping weight down), only 'repair' a few areas where the layers of styofoam show...still have that, talus, ground cover, careful sedimentary layer painting, and some scrub vegetation left!
Thanks for looking,
~Bruce
