All change.... new start

The plastic curtain is just a square piece cut from a heavy gauge plastic bag, but I can't remember what. It needs to be a heavy gauge plastic co it will hang down. The sort of bag you get screws or washers in.
It had a slight bluish tint to the bag so I thought that would be suitable for a chilled food storage clean area. I cut the strips with a pair of scissors, not all the way up to the top, leaving a section to glue it inside the doorway.

I've got a load of Rusty Stumps pallets to make up for detailing the loading dock even more.

I’ve had a couple of attempts at making the road. The first was made using pre-torn wet/dry glued to cardboard as per CNW1961 <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://bigbluetrains.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=6560&start=60">viewtopic.php?f=46&t=6560&start=60</a><!-- l --> .I could not get the result I wanted, and besides the actual road is concrete sections so I tried another method. Using 80 thou plasticard as the base, painted with Rustoleum Limestone textured paint. This was then washed with a gouache grey/brown wash. When it dried the colour wasn’t quite right but it had given an extra texture to the surface. I airbrushed it lightly with acrylic paint and then marked out the 15 foot sections these roads are generally made from, cutting the gaps with a razor saw. I scribed cracks and carefully painted the cracks. I used some MIG weathering powders to add extra effects.

I'm quite pleased with the result and I will use this technique elsewhere on the layout.
