Scenic Products Range Fine Sieved Real Soil
Fine Sieved Soil. The geology around Tunbridge Wells (where I am based) is mainly Wealden sandstone, which means the soil is also sandy. Excellent for model railway scenics but not so good for horticultural water retention!
This fine sandy soil has been dried and sieved and is ready to use. The ways in which it can be used are many and varied; from basic ground cover in roads, goods yards, pavements, fields, hedgerows, grass, general weathering of wagon interiors etc. For a basic ground cover, simply sprinkle evenly over wet PVA. Vacuum off the excess when dry. You may decide it doesn't need any further treatment. But if you wish, further layers can be repeated and enhanced with thin paint washes or weathering powders. For particularly fine textures, sieve though a tea-strainer. As this is a 100% natural product, some shade variation is to be expected, but generally it is of a mid- to light-grey colour. A truly versatile and durable product.
The photos of the product in use are all 0 Gauge, but it could be used for larger or smaller scales.
