Okay, after having gotten home after 11pm monday and tuesday, tonight I got home at 9pm so I got a bit accomplished on the bridge. Earlier today, I bought some "Easy-Sand 20" to get started on the water. Mixed some up, and started spreading it on. Hey, it does dry darned fast! Didn't realize they made this product. I'm hooked, no more waiting 2 days for stuff to dry! Also put the base coat on the new slabs I added, then did the brown wash and the black wash. Another long day tomorrow, but perhaps I can wrap up my "real job" project early on Friday - and come home early and go to work on the bridge. Still got a ways to go and that deadline is quickly approaching!
Lots more weathering to do on the new slabs to match the old. Then I'll be adding the drain pipes and working on the water. After that, building up the ground and roadbed to connect to the bridge on each end, then track and ballast. Hey, that doesn't sound like too much to do.
