I took a break from working on scenery and made a little nondescript shed to enhance the look of my Stonehammer branch line terminus. I'm going to put a few buoys on it to give the layout a maritime feel. I haven't decided where to locate it yet. It is also the first time I used an airbrush to paint a structure. I was putting thin coats on then by accident put too much paint on it so I brushed it off. I'll practice next time on a piece of wood before doing a structure.

I'm thinking of making a sign that can be seen across the tracks from the depot identifying Stonehammer, The sign is a big sheet of rock. I'm trying to figure out if I can get white lettering on it somehow; decal? dry transfer decal? Might even print something from my printer, but haven't figured out how to make white lettering on a black background.

How soupy can I make plaster for pouring? I have a concrete area (about 4" x 12") that has poles and pipes coming out. I won't be able to use a screed and was hoping a soupier plaster mix combined with some vibration for air bubbles, the mix would works its way around everything. 

I've read that the more water in the mix, the less strength it has. I assume once it evaporates, the mold area will not be full anymore. Maybe it will take another pour then? Thanks.
