I am doing a small diorama to test new ideas. The objective is to make a straight track with a small pond, a field and some unpaved track.
- The base was done using plaster for moulding and brown.
- Track was painted to simulate rust
- Noch ballast was adds and glued to the board.
- The grass was applied using a homemade static grass applicator
- The brown mud was glued using mud from the near forest.
The result is quite satisfying, but I am not totally happy with the track painting and the ballast. I will try different colors and rust option to see what works best.
The ballast glue from NOCH is quite expensive. For the first attempt I used this glue to ensure good results, but I will explore using white glue+water+soap.
