Scenery how??? That’s how I want my layout to look. What product(s) did you use???
oh, I like the ballast too.
Go to Wal-Mart and buy the cheapest can of tan paint (like $5) or earth color that you like. Paint it on really thick and sprinkle on a fairly thick layer of Woodland Scenics Green Blended Turf. Add some WS dirt, WS Earth Blended Turf, and some yellow grass. Add WS weeds, not field grass but actual ground foam weeds, like coarse turf I think. Spray with rubbing alcohol and soak with 50/50 white glue and water with a little soap added. Let dry (about 36 hours for me) and then add clump foilage bushes or undergrowth.
Just use white glue to hold it down, not diluted.
Add some field grass and trees (not there yet)
That looks really, really good. Great job. I love the color to of the ballast
Lookin pretty sharp there,
ballast ROCKS!
…wait, it is rocks…
Looks real good. Keep up the good work.

I’m still building buildings and fine tuning my scenery. Ballast is still a dream for me, lol.
