I pretty much got the colour I wanted for the tide out estuary.

I misted it with water to give me an idea of what it will look like when I air brush a gloss over it. I'm thinking gloss over the lower areas and a semi gloss on the higher spots.

I haven't figured out what medium will give me this yet.

Close up:

I keep changing my mind about this.  I am building a rail-served oil/fuel distribution scene set in the 1960's in a semi rural location.  I'm trying to decide if this industry should have a security fence surrounding the property.  From an operations stand point, I think it's pretty cool that operators would need to stop at the perimeter to open and close the gate.  And I have the ability/skills to make the gate and the open/close mechanism . 

Is anyone using Scenic Express ballast? I'm most curious about what the Blended Gray and the Light Gray looks like on a layout. The pictures on Scenic Express website are lousy and don't give a real feel for what it looks like.

I'll be using #40 for sure but any pictures of any of the sizes of that color would be appreciated.

In this video I show you an easy way to build a model structure with interior and lights. I am building Woodland Scenics' Grafton Hotel Combo, a DPM stricture with Roomettes interiors and Just Plug lighting. This is a fun build that you may want to try and you definitely want to see.
