What I did was cut a thin slice of foam off with a bread knife and caulked it in place. I wanted rock in a couple of spots where the clearance between the hill and track was minimal. I am happy with what I ended up with.Īnother little trick I learned through a change in plans is what I call the "cheater" rock face. After painting the base coat the Granite Gray I dabbed all the other colours on and ran dry brushes over them after the application of each colour. I bought a 4 Litre can of Granite Gray latex as I plan on having a lot of rock to paint. I used those $2.00 bottles in the arts and crafts section. ![]() I bought about twenty of them at Walmart. The first site that came up gave me a list of about thirty colours I would need. When it came to painting I was at a complete loss, so I Goolged "how to paint the Rocky Mountains". I found the video helped me to get going in the right direction. I've treid all sorts of ground texture with my dioramas and the one that works the best is what I desrcibed in the mix, for some reason the caulk doesn't shrink. One last thought, as far as plaster it cracks and shrinks as does joint compound but thinning joint compound as with the caulk should be OK. To add scenery material to the exisitng ground, simply spray a mist of water mixed with windshield wiper fluid (alcohol already mixed!) and add white glue to mix with the spray, apply more scenic material.Īlso the windshield wiper fluid thins out the white glue for track ballast work as well, the blue tint will not show up. Work in areas about 18" square so as not to out pace yourself. As the mix dries it will stiffen without cracking or shrinking. This paper will adhere to the surface and while still wet, sprinkle on ground cover of your choice. Dip the paper in the mix until soaked through, then drape the paper over the formations. Use a sheet of wrapping paper larger than an area to be covered with a base of carved blue, white or pink insulation board or using the scraps of the insulation make the geological formations. Try this method, as I have posted in the past, mix acrylic caulking, acrylic paint (color of the basic ground work) wood glue and thin with water, this makes a great mixture in which to dip wrapping paper in using a paint roller pan.
