I have to leave each section overnight for the PVA to set completely, so I've gone back to the scenario at the bottom of the slipway.

I want to simulate the remains of an old jetty with rotting piles.  So, grab some Meranti dowel and give it the treatment on the bench grinder.

And finish the job with a draw knife and a wire brush.

Piles 02

Once that's done, cut to length and fit a mounting pin (er, nail). 

Piles 03

Next, paint them flat black.  This is the reverse of how I would normally do it, but a respected fellow modeller suggested I try it this way.

Piles 04

Now, a wash of white.

Piles 05

And then some marine growth.

Piles 06

I slapped a bit of beige paint around the area to give a rough idea of sand.

Piles 07

Once the tide comes in, I reckon that it will be OK.
