Then after spreading the plaster on the layout, I immediately dispersed very fine sand and fine grey ballast on the area and carefully worked it into the plaster by tapping with my fingertips. When the plaster was dry I vaccumed the area to remove all loose ballast."
That sounds great but I have no talent to work with plaster but very fine sand and gravel is the route to go. I am currently using N scale material. Will have a look for Z scale or even finer stuff.
ps. Waiting for tomorrows vacuum session of the last static grass batch
