ballast...
Good evening,
The target this weekend was to undertake the ballasting - as usual, a tedious exercise, despite given the relatively small size of the layout.
As usual, I use the Woodland Scenics fine grey chips and these were applied onto pre spread PVA using a mixture of paint brushes and cocktail sticks.
I had pre painted the sleepers and chairs with a view to pre painting the rail and threading it but due to lack of progress I ended up cracking on with finishing the track so I will have to hand paint the rail(s) later.
I also managed to apply the first coat of paint to the buffer stops and checking the prototype was surprised to see they were black with white - just got to do the red stripe now.
A few pics:
Next job is to make the station canopy...
That's it really - small progress, short blog entry but at least moving in the right direction...which it needs to with only 39 days remaining...
