Gray stone material with a coarse grain for yards, roads, embankments and quarry faces.
Responsibility details are not available.
Coarse gray ballast turns up most often as track ballast in the larger scales, but its possibilities do not end there. Modelers have used the same material on unpaved approaches to factories, in the yards of repair shops, at a transfer siding, on the slope below a retaining wall and as rubble scattered among the ruins of a wrecked building. In a diorama with Second World War vehicles it becomes the stony field track that a column is pushing along.
Crushed granite and limestone give a cold neutral tone that works as a background on a model. It does not overpower the color of vehicles or buildings and it takes practically any later treatment: light dust, rusty patches and dark spilled fluids alike. Anyone who wants to liven the surface up mixes in a handful of another shade, because an evenly gray surface hardly exists in nature.
On a larger continuous area it pays to lay the material down in two goes. The first is fixed and makes a firm bed, the second is spread thinly on top and worked into the detail. Wheel ruts are suggested by pressing a rounded tool in before the glue sets. Finally a light pass with a dry brush in a lighter shade helps, bringing the protruding edges out.
The material is supplied dry in a bag and any unused part can be stored without trouble. Anyone building a larger scene will appreciate that the shade holds between individual packages, so an area can be finished in stages with no visible join.
