Building Rivoli Battlefield part 3

We made some good progress over the weekend, but it' starting to sink in how little time we have left. I think there will be paint drying in the car ride out to Lancaster....


With the hill down I use a light weight spackle to cover up seams and smooth out slopes.

The light weight spackle drys slow, so waiting overnight is a must.

Some quick sanding and the slopes are looking good.

We throw a base coat of paint down.

Now comes the road network. We use paint and railroad ballast. We paint out the road, dump the ballast on top and mash it down with a roller.

Just waiting for it to dry and we will shake off the excess. We recover all the excess to use again.

All the roads are down

Tonight we hope to get a start on the fields and villages....Stay tuned.
