My question has several parts:

Patina on M.E.Code 70 weathered track Has anyone had this problem with M.E. weathered code 70 track.

I have been setting up a diorama to tune my scenery skill, (at the moment I don’t have the space for even a small layout). I am also trying to improve my painting/weathering skills.
