Buck & Loretta done finally showed up and are back from a beer buying trip only to find Uncle Herschel had done stopped by to chew the fat - and thar's a plenty of that a hanging out of the bottom of Buck's "wife beater" shirt.  Buck ain't never gona lift a hand against ole' Loretta since she ken shoot the eye of a tick at 100 yards!  Although Buck's the only one with a beer in his hand, he'll be a sharing some brew with Herschel as soon as Loretta goes in the that there trailer house to fetch some!

Any body have any ideas for modeling a flat, rubber membrane roof, such as typically seen on industrial buildings? I have several flat roofed buildings for my paper mill complex, and I'd like to vary the roof from the typical tar and stone approach or metal roof that I've already used. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Most layouts have some water somewhere, and unless it's a pond, it has to end rather abruptly at the edges of the layout.  I'd like to see how people manage to make that edge look good.  Do you paint the edge like the fascia?  Leave it clear?  Hide it in some way?  What about the back, where it hits the backdrop?

HI Guys,

I am new to forum so sorry if wrong place wrong time??

I am in process of building my first layout. I am from South Africa but have always loved the American stuff>

I have found the dvd series by Joe Fugate extremely helpful so far.

I have viewed the dvd that goes through the ground cover up process where Joe uses the vermiculite / cement/plaster mix.

The question I have is what do I use for the areas in my station yards? Do I still apply a very thing covering of the said mix or plain gravel with powder coloring?
