- In this video I use Hobbycraft concrete paste to create a depot hard standing. Watch to see how I get on, but I think it would be better for O gauge or OO...

Hi , nice video and great advice😊👍🏼
I’ve been builddioramzs for a number of years but I’m new to railway modelling.
I was surprised to see how you clean the tracks after laying down the product.
I’ve been racking my brain trying to come up with a solution so I’ve taken courage from you!
I’m also an N Gauge modeller 😊
Can I give you some ideas?
Any of these pre-prepared products need diluted. They say ready to use but every one of them that I’ve used need diluted.
90% of them just need water thankfully 😊
Secondly, I felt your pain sanding everything down. I had to do this on a diorama that I’d nearly finished for a museum.
Nothing was taking it down. I was ready to start again when my father came to visit me (I live in France).
He is a railway modeller of 70 years.
He saw my struggle and said « Why not build the surface up with plaster of Paris with white glue and water mixed? ».
It bloody worked!
Weathering, I use artists chalks from the local pound shop or ‘The Works’ type of place, scrape them down with a knife and apply them with an old brush.
Old charcoal powder from the BBQ is good too.
I’ve even used the pure carbon toothpaste powder too 😁
Oil paints are great for eating shades but a little more complicated to explain but the principle can be quite easy.
The one thing I suggest investing in is a battery operated airbrush. You can pick them up for around £30 on Amazon.
Smashing for lightly shading larger ground space like your concrete 😊
I’ll try to link you to an Armour Modeller called Nightshift here on RUclips.
He is really at the top of his trade, a true artist, but explains everything so well.
You have a lovely layout and I wish my layout was as near to what you have!
All the best, Ian
Thanks Ian!
I've got myself one of those battery airbrushes but apart from painting my tarmac roads with it I've found it's a bit too overkill for N gauge. Especially weathering locos etc.
I've got a big pack of various weathering powders from DCC concepts that I've used on my locos etc. also occasionally used a MIG ammo oil brusher. I'm gonna try and keep this concrete bit relatively clean but not too clean? Few oil spills and general muck kinda thing.
Thanks for the comments about the layout, sure you will get there with yours!
Hi Steven, I hadn't come across the concrete paste. I'm not sure if I'd be tempted to use it or not, I suppose it is like anything else once you get used to it, it's probably OK ...cheers James 🙂👍
@@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAYyeah you're right. I only saw it online somehow and thought it was worth a shot. Glad I tried it. Not sure if I want to repeat it though!
@@finnbroughngauge I'll certainly keep it in mind if I need something to create concrete, and the weigh up the pros and cons 🙂👍
@@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY I'd definitely use it again if it was somewhere there was no rails
