Something Different
So I was at the hobby shop looking for Hydrocal and they had an 8# container from JCTRAINSSTORE.com that is gray in color and it was a better price than buying the woodland scenics stuff. So I decided to try it. Goes on almost black in color then starts turning a gray color. I am not sure about it yet but it has some pluses. You will never get white spots in your scenery. You have to wear some gloves while applying it or you will be scrubbing for a bit afterwards.
I can't seem to find their website but there are some people that sell it still. Here are 3 pictures and in the last picture I have part of the mountain weathered and you can see what the possible outcome will be. I guess I will experiment a bit. Let me know your thoughts.
