That gravel/dirt looks good, like the real stuff, Mike.    All the dirt around here looks like mud.

Thanks Don!
Wayne thank you. I use the finest sized gravel WS makes then go over that with a layer of wood ashes from a wood stove and rub them in really good to take out more of the coarseness which is always a challenge in N scale. However I no longer own a wood burning stove so I may have to try ashes from the BB-Q when my current stock runs out. Big Grin

Hey, Mike, if you get desperate, I'll mail you some wood-ash - we have a woodstove, which is well-used every winter.

Thanks Wayne, I'll keep that in mind!

I agree with Wayne...  That scenery looks great!  My dirt/gravel never looks that good.

Mikey try rubbing it with sandpaper to blend the sizes together.

I'm calling this done. A before and after


RE: Tyson's not quite I square foot Challenge - doctorwayne - 04-08-2020

Big improvement, Mike, and, if I haven't mentioned it before, a great-looking backdrop, too.

As always, a great job. If I could come close to achieving what you do, I'd be one happy pappy...
