Thanks gents
The basic pan. Once the glue's dry tomorrow I'll take it out to the tablesaw and mill it to final shape.

I will give it a basic sanding, raise the grain with a bit of water, and sand it up to perhaps a 600 grit. A heavy coat of stain, more sanding, more stain, light sanding, and then a poly sealer before I can slop some fake ground into it.
Regards, Mark

Very tidy start.
As someone who never does dios I always like watching how it should be done.

Jconn needs must when the devil drives
Oz it's really windy here in Montana
Mence I'll record a few more steps I'd usually not cover then just for laughs
All thanks gents
Since I got a lot of complaints about the weights I decided to remove them
Pan's milled to shape and sealed

Pour of Durham's water putty

Once the putty dries I'll chisel the other piece of plywood to a fitting contour and glue it in to be covered after the roadway's been painted

Thanks gents
Putty dried enough to paint. Put some preshade and on the edge thick enough for a white line

Base road and stripe with plywood filler glued in
002 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr
I use celluclay for most groundwork and it does not do to lay it on over thick because of drying time and possible shrinkage difficulties, hence the plywood spacer.
Celluclay on and T-62 tracks impressed. I take some track links and glue them to a rigid strip of styrene to do this with as if one tries to use the model there's a very good chance of breaking it
004 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr
Now it's time to wait for the celluclay to dry, might be a couple of days. I'll texture the dry celluclay with blue gerbil dust which is a very fine powder that makes excellent sand in this scale. The ground will get painted the appropriate tan shade, and the road will get a grey filter or two to reduce its current monochromic appearance. To be continued when dry enough to proceed
Regards, Mark
