• Can I paint over cured Realistic Water or Deep Pour Water and then pour another layer of Realistic Water or Deep Pour Water over it?

  You can apply Water Undercoat, or 100% acrylic paint, on fully cured Realistic Water or Deep Pour Water and then pour another layer over it. 

• How do I tint Water Effects™?

  You can use our Water Tint which is specially formulated to tint Deep Pour Water, Realistic Water and Surface Water. Or you can mix a small amount of Earth Colors® Liquid Pigment or water-soluble paint into Water Effects™ before applying.

• What color pigments do you suggest I use on Tunnel Portals and Walls to make them look realistic?

  The photo of the Single Track Timber Portal, shown on the website is a good example of a realistic Tunnel Portal. We used Burnt Umber for the main color and then applied a wash using a thin solution of Black. You could also use Stone Gray  as an accent.

• I purchased all of your Earth Colors pigments. Would you please suggest the pigments that would be good for basic rock coloring?

  We typically suggest Yellow Ocher, Burnt Umber and Black for generic rock coloring, however different geographic locations have rocks of different color so choose the pigments that best represent the area you are modeling.

   

  The Leopard Spot technique is our favorite method for coloring rocks. It is a simple technique that yields realistic results. Start with the suggested dilution ratios. If darker colors are desired, add additional pigment to washes.

  -Dilute 2 different secondary colors, 1-part pigment to 16-parts water. Color suggestions: Yellow Ocher and Burnt Umber.

  -Dilute a third pigment for a dominate color, 1-part pigment to 32-parts water. Color suggestion: Black.

   

  Start with the lightest secondary rock color. Using a foam brush, dab first color randomly over 1/3 of rock. Rinse brush. Dab the next secondary color randomly over a different 1/3 of rock. Rinse brush. Leave approximately 1/3 of the rock white. 

  Brush and dab the dominate Black Wash over the entire rock face. The Black Wash pulls the colors together. When dry, seal rock colors with Scenic Cement (S191) and let dry. Then, brush on a less diluted Black Wash (1:16) to accentuate rock detail. Spray again with Scenic Cement to seal.

• My Lightweight Hydrocal will not take the Liquid Pigments in some areas of my terrain?

  Some natural shading should occur when painting your Lightweight Hydrocal surface with Liquid Pigments. However, if the surface is not absorbing pigment and remains white, those areas probably have been contaminated with glue or another substance.

• Can the Liquid Pigments be applied with an airbrush? If so should it be diluted?

  Yes, Earth Colors Liquid Pigments can be applied with an airbrush. Diluting the pigments is done primarily to adjust the shade of the color. Leave it full concentrate for the darkest color and add water to achieve lighter results.

• I have your Timber Single Portal HO Scale. How do you paint it to make it look like wood?

  For a realistic timber appearance, we recommend using Earth Colors Liquid Pigment - Burnt Umber and Black. Dilute 1-part Burnt Umber with 8-parts water and brush over the entire Portal as a base color. Over the Burnt Umber, apply a black color-wash. Dilute 1-part Black with a approximately 32-parts water. Brush and dab on the black wash, letting it seep into all the crevices. Adjust amount of water for desired look.

   

  For the box photo, we brushed on a less diluted black wash above the tunnel opening to model the build-up of train smoke.

• What is the best way to model sand?

  Place fine grade Talus in a plastic bag and seal it. On a safe surface, tap Talus with a hammer until desired consistency is achieved. It can also be colored with Earth Colors Liquid Pigment to achieve the desired color of sand.

• Is there any specific type of paint you recommend to paint the plaster cloth after it has been applied to the layout?

  We recommend using Earth Colors Liquid Pigment, Earth Undercoat or Green Undercoat. They yield realistic results and are formulated to blend naturally with our Turf products.

• What pigment colors can I use so my rocks achieve the Sandstone look?

  Color recommendation: Use Burnt Umber and Yellow Ocher as secondary colors. Then, use Raw Umber as the dominant color. 
  
  You may want to consider purchasing the Earth Colors Kit. It includes all eight Earth Colors Liquid Pigments and detailed instructions for coloring rocks. This would allow you to experiment with different colors to achieve your desired look.  

• What is the difference between Woodland Scenics Liquid Pigment and common acrylic paint?

  Earth Colors Liquid Pigment colors like stain. They are easily absorbed into porous surfaces, such as Plaster Cloth and plaster-based products.
