The Scenery Kit S927 gives you everything you need to build a 10″ × 18″ HO scale diorama while learning the core terrain and landscaping techniques you’ll use on every layout you ever build. It’s a proper starter kit — not a watered-down taster, but a genuinely comprehensive collection of materials that would cost noticeably more to assemble individually.
- Complete terrain-building toolkit — frames, sub-roadbed, Plaster Cloth, Lightweight Hydrocal, and a Concrete Culvert Casting all included
- Full landscaping palette — Fine Turfs, Coarse Turf, Blended Turf, Clump-Foliage, Field Grass, Poly Fibre, Talus, and Ballast in one box
- Teaches transferable skills — techniques learned here apply directly to larger layouts and future projects
- Save money from the outset — better value than purchasing the individual materials separately
Woodland Scenics S927 — The Scenery Kit
If you’ve ever wanted to get stuck into proper terrain modelling but weren’t sure where to start, the Woodland Scenics Scenery Kit S927 is about as clear an entry point as you’ll find. It’s designed to walk you through building a 10″ × 18″ (25.4 cm × 45.7 cm) HO scale diorama from the base up — and everything you need to do that is in the box.
What makes this more than just a starter pack is that the techniques you’ll learn here — shaping terrain, applying scenic materials, creating convincing ground cover — are exactly the same techniques you’ll use on a full layout. It’s not a simplified version of the hobby; it’s the real thing at a manageable scale.
What’s in the Box
The kit is genuinely comprehensive. The structural foundation comes from 4 pre-cut hardboard side frames (1/8 in), a pre-cut hardboard sub-roadbed (1/4 in), and 5 corner blocks, along with a Track-Bed Strip (HO) and Track Strip (HO) for the railway element. A Concrete Culvert Casting and 4 Rock Castings from Rock Mould C1234 add immediate architectural and geological interest to the scene.
For terrain building, you get Lightweight Hydrocal (4.5 oz / 127 g) and Plaster Cloth (8 in × 7.5 ft) — the classic Woodland Scenics combination for shaping landforms. Adhesives are covered too: Scenic Cement (8 fl oz / 236 mL) and Hob-e-Tac Adhesive (1 fl oz / 29.5 mL).
The landscaping materials are where the kit really delivers variety. You get a full range of ground cover options:
- Fine Turf in four colours — Burnt Grass, Yellow Grass, Soil, and Earth (3.6 in³ / 58.9 cm³ each)
- Medium Green Coarse Turf (3.6 in³ / 58.9 cm³)
- Green Blend Blended Turf (10.8 in³ / 176 cm³)
- Medium Green Clump-Foliage and Dark Green Clump-Foliage (16.2 in³ / 265 cm³ each)
- Green Poly Fibre (1 g) and Light Green Field Grass (3 g)
- 3 Tree Armatures at 2–4 in (5.08–10.1 cm) height
- Grey Blend Ballast (3.6 in³ / 58.9 cm³)
- Brown Fine/Medium Mix Talus (3.6 in³ / 58.9 cm³)
- Earth Undercoat (0.676 fl oz / 19.9 mL) and a Strip Earth Colour Liquid Pigments set (0.135 fl oz / 3.99 mL each)
Practical tools are included too: a Spray Head, a Foam Pad Applicator, and 2 Stir Sticks. Full instructions are provided, and the kit is supported by Woodland Scenics’ Model Scenery Made Easy instructional video — produced for modellers at all levels, from first-timers to those brushing up on technique.
A Note on Safety and Quality
All materials in the kit are ASTM certified — evaluated by a Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Approved Toxicologist to confirm they meet ASTM International standards for art materials. Worth noting that the kit carries a 14+ age recommendation, and the Lightweight Hydrocal should be handled with care — read the packaging instructions before use.
The train itself isn’t included, but everything else you need to create a finished, realistic HO scale scene is. It’s a solid investment in both materials and skills — and one that’ll pay dividends on every project that follows.
