Track Painted
Final trackwork work.
With the ballasting complete and dry I moved onto final finishing. Using a variety of washes I stained the ties between the rails to simulate a buildup of grime. A rusty colour wash was brushed along the edges of the rail and allowed to flow onto the ballast to create a rusty look along the rails. This is quite noticeable on the prototype and seems to work well here.
A bit of drybrushed white Floquil paint was added to the tops of the ties to bring out the wood grain a bit.
With the track finished I can move onto some of the structures, starting with the station.
