15. Everything
was covered
with dirt. The
grass was
brushed so it
would show
through the
dirt. I used
gray ballast for
the mainline
and weathered it with a black spray after it set up. I sprayed
the entire scene with Woodland Scenics Scenery Cement to
hold everything in place.
14. I used
patching
cement from
the Home
Depot paint
department. It
comes in a gal-
lon bucket with
blue text on the
sides “patching cement”. This stuff sets up in a day and always
requires a seconded cote to fill cracks. Here you see me using
a 4” putty knife to pull the road smooth. I used wood forms on
each side about 1/8” high to keep the cement even. Two coats
of India ink makes a perfect black top shade. Then I created a
shoulder along the road from Woodland Scenics ballast.
