Progress has been made with the new steam shed for Northbridge, I built up the card to sleeper height and added the sand to give the initial texture, I filled the voids between the sleepers with Hornby dark grey grit which is finer than most ballast and therefore more prototypical for steam sheds where ash was the most common method of bedding in track. I sprayed the whole lot matt black and then applied Peco coal dust to bring up the highlights.
I finally go round to assembling the home made static grass applicator that I bought the parts for last summer (fly zapper+metal tea strainer) and was amazed to see that it works quite well with the static grass that I bought at the Glasgow show. Bear in mind that this is my first attempt at static grass so I probably need more practise, the buffer stop also needs straightened up!
Or using the flash
That's all for now
Cheers
