For an older "frost-heaved and bumpy" concrete parking lot on my HO layout, I used N scale ballast from Highball Products spread reasonably smooth and glued down like regular ballast. I then painted it with a white/gray/tan mixture of Acrylic Craft paint to simulate aged concrete. I drew on expansion joints and repaired cracks using a fine line sharpie black marker and weathered it with chalks to show tire tracks etc. It's a background scene on my layout and really looks good. (I think, anyhow) And it was easy and inexpensive to do. <br /> <br />One thing though, once dry and painted it is as hard a concrete! I had to re-do a small portion and had a heck of a time with it! <br /> <br />If you are interested, there are photos at the site in my signature that show the station parking lot that I did this way.
