I’ve seen people do the same thing but with spray paint

Using oil as a resist is a good idea. I never would have thought of that.

Thanks Scott,

I think that I’ll probably over-spray the ballast with a thin wash – perhaps an India Ink wash. I’m also considering blending the edge of the roadbed with an over-spray of the ground colour.

We’ll see how things go!

Hi Michael,

Great stuff and nice progress. I agree, the rails are a key detail to get a good look. I’m getting close to this stage and I have debated the timing of this step. If you do it post-ballast, it tends to mute the colour of the ballast and help blend things. What do you think?

Cheers,
Scott
