Hey, no problem. Glad I can share my trial and errors to help others.

I’ll be taking a little break myself from layout work. Wanna try and finally finish up the Blast Furnace kit this weekend so I can sell it.

Darn it, now I have to go do some foam sculpting this weekend and lay some of this stuff down! Thanks for the sinsghts though – I keep finding all sorts of great little nuggets in your site.

I imagine so. Pretty weird how it comes out the box gray but dries a lite tan/brown color. I like the color though because of the all variations of color in it, and yeah, looks great as simple ground cover.

Interesting. SO the green-ish/brown-ish color is the result of the fine texture stuff in there? If so it would suggest thatyou could get basic ground cover down pretty easily.

Here’s a look at the mixture out of the box:

You can see the plaster mixture along with the course material it mixes up with.

Out of the box its a kind of gritty looking material, not very powdery like plaster or anything. Almost like dusty ballast material. I’ll take a photo tonight of it.

It does look good. I’m curious about the components that make the mixture. It sort of looks lkie Sculpt-a-mold with ground foam thrown in. How does it look up close?
