Ian Holmes Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Anyone any good ideas for platform surfaces? The structure is built from styrene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I just had a quick look on Google street view and it looks to be a fairly standard pale grey tarmac surface. Possibly a very fine grade 'wet and dry' suitably painted may give the "smooth but not smooth" look required? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel.Richardson Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I second the wet and dry. Very nice work there, looking forward to seeing this finished Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc435 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Wet n dry 1200 or 1500 grade. Then dusted with grey/white chalks to weather it down and dirty it. Great layout Ian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Holmes Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Wet n dry has it then. I'd forgotten about that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Holmes Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Ballasting mess. I also washed over the plain plywood baseboard surface that has been shouting at me since I started. The bare baseboard you see in the picture will be covered with platform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
