My adventures in Ho Scale.

[Michael B]

I used this plaid nutmeg brown since it was flat. I used the entire 8oz bottle mixed 4:1 with water in a glass Mason jar.

Yes, colors planned are another brown (earth I think is the color) Raw sienna, Burnt Sienna, probably a gray, I bought Slate and Country to experiment on scrap castings.. These will be thinned much more. Like 8:1 since they are washes and not a base color.

Then it will get a heavier black wash to bring out the cracks, and cause some shadowing.

Final will be a very thin black wash to tie it all together.

That's the plan, we shall see!

Hey Spike, it's Spike.
LOL.

I was 21, and working with a good friend at his Dad's body shop.
He was assigned to work with me on one of my jobs that his
Dad had promised out way too soon. We were talking smack and
joking around while we worked. I handed him a moulding, and said
"Book 'em Dano, book 'em".
It took him a millisecond to smack his lips and reply,
"Okaayyyyy, Spike!"

I never called him Dano again.

Nice work Mike!

This is definitely beyond my skill level.

Now that you mention it, I will never be able to un-see that image any time look down those tracks!

Thanks for that!

@migalyto those rocks look awesome also in white. what rockmolds are you using?
I have some woodland scenics but i dont think i have those shaped molds like you have so i assume those are not woodland scenics?
looking forward to your progress.

That is funny! I love Wile E. Coyote! I have two of his "splats" painted onto a couple of areas on my layout. One is just in front of the box truck cab near the brake wheel on CEDX 2022, the other is just above CM, MT & SL 522's smokebox.

Mike, the scenes you are creating look great. I like the mix of colors you wrote about. That will make things pop even more
