DIY Fall Foliage — Couch Foam photos
Scenicking, step by step, on a scrap budget. This one starts with couch cushion foam — torn into clumps, dyed golden and deep autumn red, and dried on trash-can lids out in the yard — then shows what that homemade foliage becomes on the layout: river gorges with poured water and hand-placed rock, ballasted curves, tree-lined ridges, and tunnel scenes that look like the real Rockies. Proof that the good stuff comes from method and patience, not the size of the hobby-shop receipt.
