The first job was to spray paint the plugs white - primer and top coat. After lunch they were dry, and could be 'hot-glued' in place. Later still, the coloured lines were added. It was tricky to match the colours and apply the paint, but it turned out well.


The rest of the day was spent working on the two station boards, as the areas of  'water' were looking a bit dull and dusty. Firstly, an acrylic varnish was tested on the base of the water tower, over painting or adding to the spillages. The seepage at the base of the retaining wall was next and rather than the acrylic, a tin of old varnish was used. It was a bit brown/grubby, but it looked perfect.
