I did this in my GW wargame days. I need to get back in technique as I get ready to start my real layout. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Anthony the Model Train Outsider
Thank you Dave for sharing this, has really helped me with ideas to improve my scenic development. I defiantly like the idea of using the postcrete as a base layer . Cheers Jason 👍
Love this technique. Goes to show the many things we overlook that can be used on the layout. Great video and some methods from it i will use in the near future. Tim
Thanks Dave. As someone with plain baseboards on my layout, being a bit scared of starting any scenic work for fear of messing it up and not knowing what I'm doing, stuff like this gives me some encouragement that maybe I can do it!
It's a good technique this. I used to use it years ago in my teens when I was into war gaming. Pretty robust once dry and finished. Postcrere (and some tiling grouts) does have lime in it though, so it's not great for the hands and some folk may be particularly susceptible to irritation if they do too much with their bare hands. Just borrow your wife's hand cream as well as her seive, and you'll be fine!
Hi, I enjoyed you creating your vacant lot. Very nice. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I would love to see you manipulate a patch of “teddy bear fur” material. To create a highlands area. You know, tall grass of varying shades of green and earth tones. A Boulder here and there. The reason I ask is I plan to attempt a large scale version. And I respect your skills and talent. Okay, thanks again. See you next time .
I thought you had explained it perfectly well in the last video, however, ye cannae beat a good demo video. And the next thing they'll be asking is the meaning of "skooshie" ! ;-) Luke Towan is fond of using shovel fulls of his garden soil for ground cover like this - obviously, in this country, we'd need to wait for it to dry out first. Great tutorial Dave
I'm not sure I'd want to use the earth where I live! In the south Fens, the ground is back-cripplingly high percentage of chalk as any local gardener will tell you. Using that will add considerable weight. At least the water puts hairs on your chest!
DA VIDZ Hi.... wow. That is high praise indeed. I think Richards stuff is very good. He’s stronger in some areas than me, and I suppose I’m stronger in others. Everard was a great inspiration to me and he’s a top bloke! To be compared to him is a big compliment. So thanks. :-) Dave

Hi, its easy! Give it a shot. Even practice on a spare piece like me. Just make it up as you go along. Good luck. Cheers. Dave
Very informative Dave didn't think about using Postcrete but looks to work well and cost effective.
Thanks for sharing Dave !
