Hello :)

 

It was a job I was NOT looking forward to but its done now. I have managed to remove all the ballast on the board.

It took a while to do it but chipping away at it with a flat bladed screwdriver seemed to work. There a a couple of pieces of track that need to be stuck down again and then the whole lot needs repainting but otherwise Im glad that bit is over.

WoW - Impressive that you did that Missy - I take it you didn't want to go down the 'try and rescue it with the airbrush' route then? Pete

I'm just guessing, but I don't think that you're treating the tagging system as seriously as you might. :unsure:

Thank you. Im glad its done now, the track is all painted and ready for the new ballast. This time I am being more careful and testing the ballasts I have collected to make sure I use the right one! The real weird thing is that the ballat I used on the first board according to the label is exactly the same stuff! The problem I am having at the moment is that on the first board I spent quite a bit of time with different colour washes, drybrushing, and weathering powders I am having trouble remembering what I exactly did to it so to repeat it on the second board blink.gif
