Off the top of my head I would recommend Dave Frary's Model Railroad Scenery (3rd Edition) from Kalmbach publishing. Woodland Scenics has some good information as well. You will find that Burnt Umbar, Raw Umbar, Burnt Sienna and Raw Sienna are your real friends when it comes to doing stonework. Also check out the website for Stoney Creek Designs (Roger Malinowski) and look at his On30 tab. The Paul Scoles scenery DVDs are excellent as well but I'm unsure of availability since he passed away in 2014.Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-58458793575104679622016-06-27T00:03:38.823+01:002016-06-27T00:03:38.823+01:00second the vallejo dip in the big jarssecond the vallejo dip in the big jarsjohn de terre neuvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898285039988448895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-80438787911074575662016-06-26T22:20:26.911+01:002016-06-26T22:20:26.911+01:00Checking it out.Checking it out.Mike Whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165272678144625943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-30152729753831099972016-06-26T22:16:19.228+01:002016-06-26T22:16:19.228+01:00That Vallejo dip looks like a must buy!

At the moment I am using Vallejo sepia dip which comes in 100ml jars. Absolutely magical stuff, just brush it on and pale boring rock just comes alive, all the texture appears.<br /><br />I love the Munsell definition of soil: "soil is anything defined as such by competent authority".Michael Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707913126319591535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-43982784532178878352016-06-26T21:36:41.322+01:002016-06-26T21:36:41.322+01:00One of my friends swears by this wash recipe off d...One of my friends swears by this wash recipe off dakka dakka. Acrylic medium plus artist inks. Just make sure the inks are not water based(acrylic probably is best) otherwise they can fade pretty quick. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/261541.pagedavebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.com
