sb67 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm trying to represent an urban set of sidings and seen plenty of photo's with the track littered with paper, newspapers etc I was wondering how to recreate this as the only way I can think of at the moment is to individually stick down tiny bits of paper but my practice piece looked a bit contrived, does anyone know of a simpler way of doing it?

Crosti 9f Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 May be worth looking on You Tube. Everard Junction did platform rubbish on one of his recent videos. I think he found a commercial source for it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Von Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I think I read somewhere that cut up carrier-bag plastic makes better scaled down paper than actual paper. Of course, these days most carrier-bags are biodegradable! I would think freezer/sandwich bags would do. Maybe scraps of foil? These would require painting to represent paper tho. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
