hi andy

im currently in the process of doing mine.the filler is done and i have made lines in the concrete so its in block,ive airbrushed it in concrete colour then gave the cracks a wash of dark colour.im just about to weather it but it somehow doesnt look as good as yours.this is the third time i have tried to build it with no luck.and what im trying to achieve is exactly what you have.

@bloodmarine77 Hi Mate I will do a video over the next few weeks of how I did mine. The stuff I use is of the right consistency as it is gritty and resembles concrete before you begin and it was only through experimenting with turps that I found I could bring it back to life after being dryed for several days and can be patched and repaired using turps but goes as hard as concrete when dry. cheers andy

i have done that but yours looks so much better.what colour did you use as that might be why it looks so good?

@bloodmarine77 Hi mate , with the hard stand , ill be honest I spent a really long time working on the ground surface as I knew the look I wanted and I keep working and working on it until I cracked it.I wanted to still be able to see the sleepers of the tracks which again made this difficult. Soon I will do a video to show exactly how i did it . Trust me once I have shown you, you will be able to do it. All the best andy

love the layout can i ask how you made the station canopys?

[hornbachhh]

@uzyadadi Hi mate the canopys were made from 6mm mdf board shaped with the same curve as the platforms and paper binders as they curve, were glued to the center of the mdf marking the center of the pitch. My led lights were drilled into this binder and cables were enclosed inside. Then using plasticard I started to glue piece by piece curving where neccesary and gluing to the mdf on the lower side of the roof and gluing to the paper binder at the top. I used wet and dry sandpaper for the ridge
