Holy cow, Castro, that wall looks fabulous. Mixing the plaster in with the grey had that effect?

No, the plaster itself has that effect. The problem with the long grey wall is that, painting it with -even diluted- acryllic paint, filled in all the pores(sp?) and degraded some details.
-Other problem is of course that any scratch will reveal the white plaster underneath.
So simply mixing in the paint in the plaster these problems can be avoided. (Mixing in paint in the plaster weakens the plaster, though!)
But if you are referring to the weathering/colour that is of course done with the tar-based "Betún de Judea".

Update on "spectacular" arch viaduct;
The wooden model is now finished; (Next step: Plastering)
A closeup of the detail work;
This will be my "masterpiece". Where the previous 3 walls+bridge had around 9-12 wooden pieces, this one has 35!
Making this more detailed model, I have realized that I should do a castle also, to install on top of one of the mountains. This is a new idea that I will have to think about a little first...

Who's a clever boy then? This looks spectacular, Henrik. Your wrist is going to be very sore after scribing all those bricks!

Arched support wall finished!
The grated stones here are smaller; 4*8mm instead of the 5*10mm used on previous walls, and has been quite difficult to make. (the plaster breaks easier, the smaller the details are)
Also the high number of inside and outside corners has been nighmarrish to do. I will definatly make all following walls more simple! ;-)

Hi Henrik,
Great job.
Did you do the plaster/paint mix on this one, and the finish with the Betun de Judea?

By the way Henrik,
Did you cut a curve piece of timber for the back, to keep the curve shape?

Yes, there is a piece of (scrap) wood cut identical to the ramp with the track, to assure perfect curved fit!
And yes, the plaster was again mixed with a little brown acryllic paint.
Later everything was "weathered" with the "Betun de Judea". (A treatment which actually failed, but I still like the result ;-)
Also, as a further "trick"; An arc-form was cut from another piece of wood, in order to scibble the arched bricks above the arc structures.
(A thing I should have done also when I made the bridge, but I didnt think of that at that moment)

WOW amazing!!!
Are you still using two different nails to engrave the plaster?
I love this kind of discussion: I have learned so much!
Thank you very much for posting, and please keep doing it!

Yes, I still use the primitive nails, ruining my hands and fingers. Stupid, as real engraving pens cost only peanuts... :-)
I am currently working on 4 new walls, where 2 of them have a very
strong curvature, which has obliged me to change my method a little
(Now using 2mm thick balsa-wood)
Probably more bits and pieces of walls are beeded, before I can cover
everything up with plaster, and start doing the landscape, which is
what I REALLY want to do!
Dont worry, I most certainly WILL post more pics! hehe...
