I am waiting to wire these buildings until all of my planned remaining structures have been purchased and set in place. This will take awhile based on my current monthly hobby budget.
HMorgan125, what product did you use for the gravel on your lot?
Gene,
Based on suggestions on OGR, I used "Chick Grit" from a local Tractor Supply store. I took a small portion of the grit and put it in two separate quart size plastic bags and added burnt umber acrylic paint to one and gray acrylic paint to another. Shook the two bags, allowed the paint to dry and then added these colored pieces to the remaining white grit.
In retrospect I wish that I had added a bit of light gray sand or dry concrete mix to the top of the grit as the pieces are still a bit large for what I had in mind. I may still experiment with this in the future.
