The rock faces are done! Second time in my life carving rocks from plaster and first time using this technique for painting/weathering so I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Thank you! Good question….I’m not sure at the moment. Haven’t had a chance to research any techniques I like. Any suggestions?The tunnel portals look a lot better.
How are you going to weather them?

Hmm….oil spills and tire marks…I forgot about those details. I’ll have to add those details in somehow.I am sure I don't have to remind you that roads are not one color. Oil spills. Tyre marks if a car brakes hard. Cracks/potholes in the road. Fading white lines. Repairs on the road giving a different color. Etcetra, etcetra.
Very true! I’m just thinking I made the lanes themselves too wide. I’m sure I’ll figure out a solution.One comment if I may. Roads do not have to be wide; especially the further away they are. They look narrower.
I definitely recommend! It gives the tracks a more realistic look for sure.I have been wondering if it was a good idea about painting the rails. I love it!! I think i am getting a couple of pins for mine now!
Yeah, I wasn’t sure what way to go on that haha. I researched different methods and people do it both ways so I just decided to pick one and go for it. Thanks for the tips!Looking good GuilfordRailman.
Personally I would have painted the windows and doors first, but hey we do things differently. LOL
You can still paint the windows and doors with a fine paintbrush. If the window frames are white do not have them 'too white'. The same with the doors. Whatever color they are they should be a dull one. The 'older' the building, the more weather beaten it should be.
Some weathering with powders will help on the brickwork
