Thanks Mayer and Dave! I lowered the track in one other spot on the layout and I think it finished out pretty goood. Hope this one turns out as well.
Didn't get to work on it much today but I’ll show what I got done.
The first thing I did this morning was sand and paint the sidewalks. I painted them with just plain rustolium I had in the cabinet. You can use enamel because the plaster protects the styrofoam from the lacquer in the paint. I sanded through the plaster in random places…mostly toward the edges…to let the paint eat at it a bit to make it look crumbly. This was a gamble. Seemed to work okay. Then using a square and bic pen I scored the joints and made cracks with a toothpick. After that I coated with Elmer’s glue so I can repaint tomorrow and weather. The glue will also protect the foam.
The only other layout project tonight was a some work on a passenger station I’m kitbashing out of an MTH bus station…bank…and various other parts I’ve collected.
Tonight I worked on the roof and foundation for bus station part. I cut 1/4” foam because I had some left from the sidewalks and put that on the roof. Tomorrow I’ll get some sandpaper and glue it on top of the foam. The foundation is some thicker foam I had from a previous project. I cut it to fit and put mortar lines in with a soldering iron. I then coated it with plaster and will follow the same steps as the sidewalks on it tomorrow.
Well that’s about all to report on the layout today. I’ll check back in tomorrow with hopefully more progress.
Thanks again for lookin!
