Platform Edging Improvement.


Ray Von

Got on with adding some detail to my "Kestrel" brand platform edges today, out of the box this particular model has plain edges with a faint brickwork pattern.

I wanted to create something a little more authentic looking, this was achieved by simply gluing on some "Kibri" textured plastic sheet in strips over the existing edging.  I can't remember the particular name of the sheet I used, I would call it "irregular stone" or something like that.

 

The platforms themselves are about 2' long, and the Kibri textured sheet comes in an A4 size - so a few strips were needed.  I sprayed them with grey primer and when this was dry they were glued in place.

I then used a Revel water based paint "Leather Brown" as a base over the primer, after which I picked out random stones using black and white paints.

Once this was fully dried a wash of the same shade of brown was built up until the desired effect was reached (the wall in the background was created using the same method.)

All that remains now is to add some white dry-brushing to simulate mineral deposits, and to tidy up the ballast at the immediate edges.

 

Thanks for looking in.
