Palomino Layout - yard work
Posted by Tom Bryant_MR on Monday, March 16, 2020 7:52 PM

Wow!  Been almost 2 full months since I did any work. 

Last post I cleaned up track using 1500 grit. It has stayed clean!

I am filling in spaces between yard track right now - use less ground materials - you know, the good stuffBig Smile

Hope to break out the airbrush soon.

Unless you're planning on the areas between the tracks to look like concrete, you might want to try a bed of fine sand, wetted down and glued with diluted white glue. The surface of the sand (unevenness) might more closely resemble the prototype ground as a base for your vegetation and finishing touches.
