Portland cement though, is VERY fine with NO aggrigate added. If you use sand, that would be about right for HO gravel, don't you think? I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. It was just an idea. I mean, if you can use the real thing wherever you can...... [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Jetrock Only problem is that 1:1 scale cement doesn't look that good at 1:87 scale. Take a close look at cement: in fact, hold it under an 87-power microscope--that is how real cement looks at HO scale. Plaster works better for such things, and styrene works well too. Some real-world materials just don't scale well, and plaster is one of them. [/quote]
