Fine ballast or sand would work nicely as underlayment for cobbles with a layer of coarser ballast underneath & around utilities?
Pushing Back .......
- Thread starter toto
- Start date
Back up in dounreay until friday so nothing on the diorama build until then. This weekend will be a bit of a mixed bag as I've ran out of my standard grey cobbles sk will need to move the dioramaout the way to make room for cobble mould productions. 
also I hope to be setting up my small spray booth to get some priming done to my Simca and a Pak 40.
I intend to glue the plaster cast buildings togrther and prime them as well.
When I do get production moving again on the diorama ...... probably thefollowing weekend .... it will be more cobbles and stsrting to get the blast crator pushed on a bit.
In my mind at the moment will be an initial covering of the crator surfaces with plaster bandage just to start a basic form and then possibly build up the detail layer with DAS clay as that should adhere to the plster bandage well before a final finer layer of various ballasts, scatters and blast debri.
Thats the theory but it could change between now and then.
Oncethe plaster cast buildings have been primed ( at least ) that will open up some of the balsa wood detailing .... floors , ceilings, roofs etc.
Never a dull moment.
Cheers
