Over this weekend I did get a bit done. I pulled out the tacks I used to secure the cork, then sanded the rough edges off the cork and smoothed the top a bit. I then took a tip from someone several months ago and sprayed the cork with gray stone paint by Rustoleum to give the impression of ballast until I do ballast sometime in the future. I first tried Testors, and that little can was gone in no time flat. Some folks ballast before putting in the rest of the scenery, and others leave the ballast go until after the scenery. After trying both methods in HO, I found that I fit in the latter group. One photograph.
