Thank you, but still need help

[vilefileman]

Ive searched and found bits and pieces, but here is what i need:
Step by step ballasting instructions, with pictures.
Step by step ground cover (grass, bushes, lichen, etc) with pictures.
Ive got trees and buildings down pat, although i wish i could weather my buildings better.

Thanks and happy modeling!

Too bad this wasn’t posted a few nights ago. I just finished laying ground turf on the Passenger Station Diorama and I could have taken some progress pictures. :cry:

I have some ballasting coming up in a few weeks. I’ll make sure I take more pictures.

I can give you instructions on how I do them but right now without pictures. The only pictures I have are before and after shots.

MR put out that intro to trains magazine a while back - it may still be on shelves. Good pics in it, plus there is a decent DVD as well.
