Making a mud covered siding
The track is laid, the rails and ties painted, and the ballast secured,
but I wanted to create a look similar to this; more so the texture than matching the actual colour:
Pouring WS Realistic Water for a ditch and pond. When and how do you put in the plants?
Hi everyone,
I am looking for advice on how you install plants in and around water. Is this done during the pour/dry process or after the fact. I am doing cattails, lily pads, and fish "aluminum foil slivers." Any advice on this or ponds and swamps in general would be helpful.
Thanks.
First Look: 3-D Printed REA Express Building for Union Station
After mostly finishing Union Station, I got to looking at the REA Express Building just to the right of the station. I had originally planned on using a printed paper facade glued to foam board and decided that the building really needed to be 3-D to complement the main station. So over the last couple of weeks, I designed and 3-D printed the building as shown in the video above.
First-ever weathered bridge
While I posted at the end of last October about modeling the bridge over the Mattabessett River in East Berlin, CT, I think I actually finished it months earlier. In any event - and now that East Berlin is starting to take shape along with Wethersfield - it was high time it got weathered so I could install it.
Need help on animating this model. (Rotary Dumper)
Does anyone know how to make this model rotate using motors? All tricks will be used when I build my layout. 
cinder ballasted track
I have seen images of cinder ballasted track and even crushed cinder platforms, but only in black & white photos.
Has anyone out there modeled cinder ballasted sidings, branch lines, or crushed cinder platforms? I'm currently researching what the look of cinder ballasted track looks like especially aged with the accumulation of dirt on it. I think it would look good on my branch line terminus.
