Part 14: Adding sand base, ground cover and brush by Lex Parker

[@heabow]

Lex this series of videos has been excellent - you have covered a lot of ground and techniques in the process from the first video where you introduced us to the scratch building of a trestle. I am looking forward to seeing how you paint in the background trees and blend with the foreground and to see how the cascading river will look.

Mr. Parker, you are the Michaelangelo of Model Railroad bridge modelers & ground scenic modelers and earth builders or terraformers. Indeed you're a great artist and teacher. I could listen to you for hours on end! Thank you. This is a college course for both engineers, artists and modelers.... Hands down. Thank you, again.

Perfect!

Thank you very much. Videos are complete and one will go up each day. My web site has them also so that they run consecutively.

The base is play sand to cover the plaster and to add any depth since it's cheap. The topping is real dirt (rock) crushed. Do not use soil as in gardens as it contains stuff you don't want!

Is that just dirt?
