So the garden became my studio... at least until a very black cloud appeared!
I mixed up some enamel paint to a reddish brown, based on some photos of track at Amberley.
It makes a surprisingly big difference to the look of the track, though the rail looks rather heavy at this angle. Lots more to do, the sleepers could do with being a little lighter and after ballasting, a thin wash will be used to tone things down.
So, back to thinking about the buildings...
I've got three types of embossed plastic stonework: Wills (left), Slaters random (middle) and coursed stone (right). The question is which is most appropriate for Dartmoor. As a comparison there's a close-up of the bridge below.
The other option is scribing DAS or similar, which I'd rather avoid!
I'd say the Wills coarse stone is the closest match, but the Slaters one in the middle is also ok for larger areas... avoid the one on the right.
