Asphalt Modeling
I must've bought this 1 lb tub in the mid to late 90's (right before my divorce, but that's another story). I never used it on my previous layout. I was using emory paper then, painted grimy black. I found it in a box of my scenicking stuff. Hmmmmmm. Laid a base of permascene down on a piece of paper. Had to let that dry overnight. The next day I laid a test patch. It looks like it is still viable. Better yet, it looks just like asphalt! Brand new, just laid asphalt! I cannot find a viable reference for it, or the company on the web. The road in the pics is about 18 scale feet wide. Has not been sanded or sealed. Did some research trying to find the company. Didn't come up with much but Walther's had this to say: Creative Customcraft is listed on Walthers.com along with I.S.L.E. Laboratories (Maybe owned by them?). Walthers Mfg # 473 Walthers Vendor 473 Same folks that bring you Mountains in Minutes. Various portals. Scenery materials. Rock castings made out of foam. Quite a few of these. Some kind of scenery foam. No Website as far as I can tell. No one on the forums I frequent has seen or heard of the stuff either. Here's a shot of the stuff on my module at the crossing. I sanded this application though, and it looks pretty good. I can work with this. Still probably needs to be sealed though. Maybe a coat of Dullcote will do. I'll try that on my test patch jnust to make sure. |
